Chapter 416: A hero doesn't mention his bravery

  Chapter 416 The hero does not mention the bravery in the past

   Afternoon.

  Qingqi arrived like the wind.

   "Strictly controlled the great victory, smashed three thousand barbarians, beheaded three hundred, captured more than a thousand prisoners, and rescued more than three thousand people."

  When the travel-stained messenger told Li Daliang the good news with sweat all over his body, the governor of Jiaozhou, who was still instructing the people to repair Xiangyuan County, couldn't believe it.

  Why is the victory strictly closed? Also broke three thousand barbarians, beheaded and captured countless?

   "Isn't Xuan Shuai in Siming Mountain?"

"Yesterday, I caught a few barbarian bandits near Siming Mountain. I heard that the bandits were at Yanguan, so I went out day and night, and ran dozens of miles at night to raid Yanguan. I tricked the barbarians into opening the city gate of Yanguan, and broke through more than 3,000 people in the gate in one fell swoop." Bandit, great victory!"

   Li Daliang and others were all amazed.

  In the morning, I went from Xiangyuan to track down the barbarian bandits, but I ran to Yanguan that night and smashed the bandits.

  In such a hot weather, and in this unfamiliar place, Qin Lang insisted on breaking three thousand with three thousand.

   "Strict pass is known as the first pass in the mountain. One man is the pass, and ten thousand are not allowed to open it. Otherwise, he can't be the word strict. Unexpectedly, Saburo won it in one fell swoop. How many casualties?"

   "Thirteen people were injured, but no one was killed in battle."

  Li Daliang circled excitedly, regained Xiangyuan County, then returned to Linyuan County, and now regained Yanguan, smashing the three thousand barbarians, it is simply a miracle.

  However, when he knew that there were actually over ten thousand barbarians gathered in Qincheng, his complexion became heavy again.

   "Mr. Wei can find out why the barbarians are in chaos?"

   "Still investigating."

  Li Daliang looked at his two thousand or so people, who were still tinkering here.

   "I have to go to Yanguan immediately to support Xuanshuai!"

  Although there are more than 2,000 people, there are many Lingnan Changliu who have committed serious crimes, but they can also play a role at critical times.

   Li Daliang was worried that the barbarians in Qincheng would counterattack, so he immediately called all the people and announced the victory to them concisely.

   "Rush to Yanguan immediately!"

  Many Changliu people were a little excited when they heard that there was no need to build the city. As for the strict closure of the Nanban, they didn't believe it at all.

  Where is there such a southern barbarian who is not afraid of death, who dares to openly besiege Qin San? How many heads do they have to drop?

   They have fully seen Qin San's methods. This guy is a born bad breed. Anyone who dares to play with him will be seeking his own death.

  Thinking that those southern barbarians may be worse than them, these guys can't help but have fun in their bitterness. I'm not alone.

In order to make these guys cooperate, Li Daliang also gave them some rewards. For example, if you meet the Nanman rebels, you can reduce the crime by beheading one person, and you can be free if you kill five people. The above can be rewarded for meritorious service.

   So Changliu people clamored for weapons and untied the rope.

  Li Daliang ignored them, and still had people tie them up in a string and drive them away. Let’s talk about it when we really meet Nanman.

"Hurry up!"

  Li Daliang was very anxious, and he didn't care about the bright sun in the daytime, so he kept dancing his whip.

  A group of long-term people ran forward under the sun, their scalps were numb from the sun, their eyes were dizzy, and their mouths were dry, but they finally ran to Yanguan before dark.

   Along the way, I have never encountered Nanmanzi.

  Before the strict pass, Li Daliang and others saw black smoke billowing up.

   When I got closer, I saw that the corpse was being burned.

  Because of the hot weather at the moment, Qin Lang was afraid that the corpses would rot and get sick, so he ordered the corpses of these Nanmans to be burned on the spot, leaving no one behind.

  The mountain barbarian captives were responsible for setting up firewood and dragging the corpses, and Tang Jun supervised them outside.

   "Did you really kill many Nanman?"

  As soon as Li Daliang entered the customs, he hurriedly asked Qin Lang.

   "Didn't the person who came to report the victory earlier tell Li Gong?"

   "I told you, it was said that more than 3,000 barbarians were destroyed, 300 were beheaded, and more than a thousand were captured. Are they all true?"

"Of course it is true. How can I, Qin Lang, falsely report my military achievements? I did not falsely report the number of heads and prisoners. All the beheaded and captives were real rebellious mountain barbarians, and there was absolutely no good citizen pretending to be one. "

  Although they were beheaded and burned, they still left behind a lot of tattered weapons, etc., and the thousands of captives were still there, not to mention the thousands of people who were rescued.

  The magistrates and magistrates of Xiangyuan and Linyuan counties who were captured before were also appointed by Qin Lang to temporarily organize and manage the rescued civilians.

  Li Daliang heaved a sigh of relief, it was quite easy to see Yanguan here, and he was very excited to learn that Qin Lang had won Yanguan with almost zero casualties.

"It has been found out that in Qincheng, which is tens of miles away from here, about 20,000 barbarians gathered and set up three large camps. Wangcheng, Tucheng and Hekoubao were stationed in three places, and gathered more than 500 miles from the mountainous area. Hundreds of villages are barbarians."

   "It doesn't mean there are more than ten thousand, how come there are more than twenty thousand?" Li Daliang exclaimed.

  Qin Lang told him that 20,000 is just a lot, but although there are many barbarians, it is nothing to worry about. They are just a mob. Although they occupy a dangerous place now, they are unorganized and disciplined, and they can't make a difference at all.

   What Qin Lang is really worried about is Guizhou. Now that the news is blocked, he doesn't know the situation in Guilin at all, and he doesn't know whether it is an enemy or a friend.

"Actually, for these barbarians, the more people there are, the less successful they will be. If it's just one village and one village, these barbarians are mostly organized by family blood relationship. The organization is fairly strict, and the actions are orderly. Robbery and the like are relatively hard to guard against. But once the action exceeds one village, or even a super-large operation that exceeds a hundred villages like now, this is something that barbarians can only do once in a hundred or two hundred years."

"For such a big move, the barbarians don't have enough qualifications and prestige to command the ministries, and even the barbarians themselves have many enemies for generations. Now they are pieced together in such a disordered manner that it is difficult to give orders. They lose both secrecy and organization. , the target is big, the movement is slow, it is very easy for us to deal with them."

  After their first wave of raids, the rest had no advantage at all.

  Qin Lang judged that they were just cannon fodder instigated by others. Now Qin Lang is more concerned about who incited these people to rebel behind the scenes, and what is their purpose?

   Did he just want to create some confusion, or did he come for him, the envoy?

"For those barbarians, if there are more than 10,000 people, it is boundless. Most of them don't even have the concept of 10,000 in their minds. They only know a lot, but they can't organize and mobilize so many people. Now there are so many people Crowded in Qincheng, even though they have robbed a few counties before, it won't last them long at all!"

Li Daliang looked at the extremely simple Yanguan Pass. Compared with the Yanmen Pass, Tongguan Pass, and Jundu Pass in the Central Plains, this simple pass was like a village. Stone trees are gone.

   "Duke Wei, we have seven or eight thousand people gathered here, eating and chewing, and the consumption is huge."

  Qin Lang went south and brought more than 5,000 people with him. When he came out of Chang'an, each of them brought some dry food, and then walked all the way, buying supplies along the way, but he didn't have to worry about food and drink.

   But now, the situation is different.

  The two cities of Xiangyuan and Linyuan were looted. If Qin Lang wants to supply, he can only transport supplies from the distant Yongzhou City, or even from Hengyang City, but the distance is already two to three hundred miles away.

  Now Qin Lang not only has to take care of the more than 5,000 people he brought, but also has to take care of the more than 3,000 people in Yonggui and Guangxi that Yanguan saved.

   "There are more than a thousand captives!"

   "Don't worry, just wait."

   "What are you waiting for?" Li Daliang was puzzled.

Qin Lang smiled and told the governor of Jiaozhou, who was about to know his destiny, "the mountain man has more than 20,000 people in Qin City, which can be said to be a large number of people. Although Yanguan was defeated for a while, I believe that the man who fled back I will never admit that it is because we are powerful. I will only say that we were attacked by surprise. So I think that the barbarians from Qincheng will most likely come to retake Yanguan, so we just sit here and wait until the battle is over, the barbarians After they really know how powerful we are, they will most likely run away, then we can contact Guilin and know what's going on there."

   "As for the food, I have already sent people to Hengyang to ask for food. In addition, the dry food we carry can last for at least half a month."

  The dry food that Qin Lang brought from Chang'an was basically untouched. Meat floss, fried rice, and even locust flour and green wheat flour are all dry food that is easy to carry and easy to store. You don't have to worry about breaking it, and it doesn't take up much space.

  I bought food along the way before, and now I still have some food purchased from Hengyang and Yongzhou. When I finish eating, I can still eat this dry food for half a month.

  With this half a month, even if the food is transported from Hengyang, some supplies can be supplied.

   What's more, Qin Lang thought that the barbarians couldn't last half a month at all, and they were more short of food than himself.

  ······

   Guizhou, Guilin City.

  Outside the city of Guilin, which has the most beautiful scenery in the world, a row of newly planted wooden stakes stood beside the road. A head was inserted on each stake, and it was exposed to the hot sun and rotted, exuding a foul smell.

   Countless flies buzzing there, disgusting.

  On the top of Guilin City, Sima Cao Wuzheng of Guizhou sat in the gatehouse drinking tea, staring like eagles at the heads of those mountain barbarians on the sharp piles outside the city.

   "Unexpectedly, this Qin Lang is really a well-deserved man with a well-deserved reputation. He came so fast and moved so fiercely. I thought he would arrive in ten and a half months."

   Several school lieutenants who followed Cao Wuzheng sat beside them, wearing iron armor on their bodies. These school captains were all tough and fierce, "Those mountain barbarians are too useless, I have instructed them like this, let them occupy the dangerous pass, and camp in Qincheng, but the three thousand mountain barbarians can't hold the strict pass, It's gone overnight."

Another school lieutenant with a full face also said, "Thinking back when we guarded Guilin with Li Gong, we led 3,000 young men to resist the enemies from all directions, and 800 people were divided into guards. Over the years, we repeatedly defeated tens of thousands of invading soldiers from Xiao Xian and Lin Shihong. horse."

  Cao Wuzheng shook his head, "A hero doesn't mention his bravery back then, if he misses it, he misses it."
