I really don't want to be a rebel [infrastructure]

Lao people?

After hearing this, Cheng Jingwei thought for a while before realizing that there is indeed such a nation, and the territory occupied by this nation is not small, larger than the sum of the six imperial edicts. It is bordered by Shezhao.

Of course, it is said to be bordered by Dazhou, but in fact the bordered area is very small. Most of them still border on Tubo and Liuzhao.

Because of this, the Central Plains generally have no contact with the Lao tribe. This is because Mengshezhao was disabled by them. Otherwise, according to the history of the previous life, Mengshezhao was about to defeat several other tribes to form Nanzhao at this time, and the Lao tribe It will also become part of Nanzhao after this.

Now that the Mengshe Zhao has no ability to attack other tribes, the six imperial edicts are still in a state of their own, and the Lao tribe is naturally still the same Lao tribe.

But Cheng Jingwei couldn't figure it out, Da Zhou and the Lao people had always been in the same boat, why did they suddenly come to Jiaozhou to trouble them?

Of course, if you don't understand, you don't understand, but it doesn't delay Cheng Jingwei leading the troops there.

You must know that the soldiers under him have been camping in the deep mountains and old forests these days, and every day is such a place. In the past, there was a holiday time in the military camp to go out and relax.

Now even if you are on vacation, you can’t leave the range of the munitions factory and its surrounding villages and towns. Although the range is not small, there is nothing there. Only after the munitions factory is established can other supporting facilities be built little by little.

So these people were basically suffocated. When they heard that they were going to fight the invading enemy, they were more excited than Cheng Jingwei. They started to patrol the surrounding mountains like wolves just released from the cage.

This sweep caught many soldiers of the Lao tribe, and in the process, there were always some soldiers who were not so stubborn and recruited as soon as they were beaten.

In the end, Cheng Jingwei received the news that the Lao tribe was going to invade Jiaozhou quietly, and the target was directly at Jiaozhou City. Follow orders.

What the above told them is that Jiaozhou is now very rich and has everything. As long as they can rob Jiaozhou City, they can have whatever they want.

He even said that one person can rob a little lady, so these low-level soldiers were instantly motivated.

No matter what age it is, it is very difficult for the lower class to marry a wife. This is more attractive than the money.

Cheng Jingwei's face almost froze when he saw these confessions. At first, he thought about taking all these people down and returning to Jiaozhou City, but now he changed his mind and dared to move Jiaozhou. Since these people came Don't go back!

It's just that the people he brought were for guarding and not fighting, so there was not enough food and grass. Cheng Jingwei didn't want to worry Luo Shixing at first, but after thinking about it, he couldn't hide such a big matter.

That's why I wrote that letter. On the one hand, it was to tell him the situation, and on the other hand, it was to transfer troops and food.

Luo Shixing was not very angry when he saw the letter. Jiaozhou is such a geographical location. Once it becomes rich, there must be people around it who make up their minds. Think about Lin Yiguo before.

Although the current Liu Zhao seems to be quiet and has resumed trade, in fact, as long as they are given a chance, they will definitely turn their faces without hesitation.

Luo Shixing urgently called the gentlemen over, and while asking Wang Xuan to transport food and grass, he ordered to go down to prepare troops for support, and by the way, he took the time to ask, "What's the situation in the Western Regions?"

Because the distance is too far, the news they got here has always been lagging behind. Before that, Luo Shixing was very concerned about the trend of the Western Expedition. He mainly wanted to know the feedback on Wang Xiaojie's use of arms. Is there anything that is not easy to use, and what needs to be improved? Category.

The climate in the Western Regions is very different from that in the south of the Five Ridges, which may also have an impact on these.

However, large-scale wars seldom happen and the two sides fight directly after leading troops there. Both sides have to look for opportunities, so Luo Shixing has never received feedback, and he simply doesn't pay attention to it.

Anyway, if Wang Xiaojie really finds something bad, he will definitely report it to the court in time, and the court will tell him.

But now... he felt that he needed to pay attention.

Li Youdao asked keenly: "Do you suspect it has something to do with Tubo?"

Luo Shixing said: "I'm not sure, the main reason is that we didn't interfere with the Lao clan before, and there must be a reason for the Lao clan's sudden madness."

The Lao tribe also borders and has contacts with Liuzhao. It is impossible for him to know nothing about the situation in Jiaozhou, right?Of course, it is not ruled out that the Lao people suddenly went crazy.

In fact, in Luo Shixing's view, it would be a good thing if the Lao clan had nothing to do with Tubo. He didn't have to worry about anything, just beat him to death.

If it really has something to do with Tubo, it must be done to prevent Tubo from taking the opportunity to make trouble.

Luo Shixing wrote a letter to Cheng Jingwei, stating what was given, how much food and grass, and how many people were transferred.

For today's Jiaozhou, there is no shortage of soldiers or food, but the only shortage is arms.

Because a large amount of munitions were shipped to the Western Regions, they only left a part of them for daily use, which would definitely not be enough for a large-scale war, and even if the munitions factories had been producing all the time, they would give priority to supplying the Western Regions unless they worked overtime.

But the problem is that working overtime requires sufficient raw materials.

Luo Shixing felt that it was necessary for Cheng Jingwei to observe whether the Lao clan would leave in a hurry, or whether they really planned to use all the power of the clan to rob.

Before he was sure, he couldn't even give a memorial to the court, asking to keep a part of the arms.

Cheng Jingwei also sighed after receiving Luo Shixing's letter. The Lao people on the opposite side were very cunning, and they didn't really send many soldiers to fight. Even their soldiers didn't appear in large groups, but followed them in small groups. fight as a guerrilla.

There are large mountains on the border between Jiaozhou and the Lao people. It is difficult to find these people after they get into the mountains and disperse.

However, the corresponding opponents have no way to attack on a large scale. The only troublesome thing is that they need to be stationed in the traffic arteries for a long time for defense.

Cheng Jingwei actually has a certain judgment on this. He thinks that the Lao people don't really want to attack. The massacre of the refugees seems to be just a way to attract Jiaozhou's troops, and then drag them here without any other time.

Cheng Jingwei wrote down his guess, and then planned to hand it over to Wang Antong.

Wang Antong now has the demeanor of the wolf general of the previous life, and when dealing with the Lao clan, even if Cheng Jingwei is not here, the opponent is not bad.

After Cheng Jingwei told Wang Antong, he took dozens of guards and left the camp directly, but he was not going in the direction of Jiaozhou City, but Beidai County.

Cheng Jingwei directly sent his personal guards to deliver the letter, while he went straight to Beidai County.

When Luo Shixing received the letter, he also received the battle report from the front line. After Wang Xiaojie got the new ammunition, he did not rush to attack, but let the soldiers get used to the new weapon first.

Although Jiaozhou gave a large amount of arms, in fact the coverage rate of new weapons was not very high, so it didn't take too much time.

After the war started a few days ago, the Zhou army can be said to be in full swing, and the Tubo on the opposite side has been stunned. There is almost a new battle report every day, all of which are good news.

The whole court rejoiced, and Wu Zhao was also elated, so of course he wanted to inform the whole country.

Tubo was beaten like this, of course we have to find out what happened. After all, they also accumulated most of their troops here. They thought it would be no problem to win the Zhou army. After all, they have never fought before. They win every time. , the Western Regions were firmly occupied by them.

As a result, the army was suddenly defeated this time. Tubo Zanpudu Songmangbuji looked at Qinling and asked, "Da Lun said before that Zhou's army was vulnerable, why is it now?"

Da Lun, the Prime Minister of Tubo, Qin Ling glanced at Dusong Mang Buji and said calmly: "According to the investigation results, it was the Zhou army who used new weapons that caught our army by surprise."

Du Songmangbuji asked again: "When did the Zhou army have new weapons? Why have they never heard of them before?"

Qin Ling said: "Jiaozhou, weapons are transported from Jiaozhou to the front line, the governor of Jiaozhou, the envoy of Lingnan Jinglue, and the Marquis of Ling Ding... are really a serious problem for me."

He didn't wait for Dusong Mangbuji to say anything more before he finished speaking, "I'll take care of this matter, Zanpu doesn't need to worry too much, please take good care of your body."

After Qinling finished speaking, he got up and left. After he left, Dusong Mangbuji directly swept the things on the case table.

The waiter beside him quickly said: "Zanpu, Zanpu calm down."

Dusong Mangbuji turned his head to look at the waiter and asked, "The Governor of Jiaozhou that Qinling mentioned sounds familiar to me, who is he?"

The waiter was also a little dazed, and he immediately said: "Zanpu wait a moment, I will send someone to inquire."

Dusong Mangbuji waved his hand in a disinterested manner, and he turned his head to look out the window, thinking that he might not be able to do this Zanpu for a long time.

Talking about Qinling's dictatorship for many years, Dusong Mangbuji is now like a mascot, saying that it is Zanpu, but in fact Zanpu is Qinling. All of them will lose their lives.

It’s just that most of the top officials in Tubo are from Qinling. Although some are loyal to Zanpu’s family, they are still a minority. His food was poisoned, and his health is deteriorating, all thanks to Qin Ling.

In the face of life and death, Dusong Mangbuji felt that there was probably no way to bring down Qinling within Tubo, and he could only seek external help.

He thought about contacting Da Zhou, but Qin Ling was so on guard that he had no chance to contact the court of Da Zhou.

Just as he was thinking about this, the waiter finally brought over the situation in Jiaozhou.

Because of the six imperial edicts, Tubo knew a little bit about the movements in Jiaozhou.

After reading it, Dusong Mangbuji asked with bright eyes, "Is there a way to send a letter to the Lingnan Economic Commission?"
