Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 10 Rebels
"Da Sie, Tangren's scouts are here, I think they may have discovered our arrangement!"

Black Tooth Changzhi stood up, he was wearing a white robe, he was a head taller than the tallest person in the field, but his movements were extremely nimble and agile, like a tiger walking through the mountains and forests, his thick beard connected to his temples , covered the lower half of his face, and his pupils were as black as agate.But if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that he is very young, no more than thirty.He walked to a big oak tree and looked towards the valley road below. He saw dozens of cavalrymen advancing along the road below. These enemies walked very slowly, and they would stop and look around when they reached dangerous places. Obviously, it is impossible for the ambushes hiding on the hillside not far ahead to hide from these careful scouts.

"give me!"

Hei Zi Chang Zhi stretched out his right hand, and the servants at the side rushed to deliver his bow and arrow, which was similar in size to him, and the arrows were as thick and thin as short spears.Hei Zhi Changzhi put an arrow on the string, drew the bow fully, took aim for a while, then let go of the bowstring, and with a soft sound, he saw one of the cavalry at the foot of the mountain fell off his horse, and the rest quickly put the body on the horse and turned around. Hit the horse and leave.

"Send the order and pursue, these scouts won't be too far away from the team!"

"You mean that this arrow was shot from a hundred paces away?" Liu An looked at the corpse on the ground and asked in an unbelievable tone.

"Yes, Captain!" The answerer's face was as pale as the dead man on the ground: "I mean at least a hundred steps away, in fact it may be farther."

In the pale morning light, the dead man looked as if he was asleep. He was only average in appearance, but death smoothed the distinction between beauty and ugliness.A cloak covered the wound. Wang Wenzuo lifted the cloak, stretched out his fingers to probe the depth of the wound, picked up the short spear-like arrow next to him, gestured, and couldn't help but sighed a long time.

After waving his hands to let his subordinates back to rest, Liu An returned to the corpse with a wry smile on his face: "Maybe it's too late to escape now!"

"It's too late!" Wang Wenzuo shook his head: "The thieves are the main army, and I'm the guest army. If they retreat, they must know that there is a closer mountain path that can get ahead of us. Fight a battle here! If you win, everything will be fine, if you lose, you will have to accept your fate!"

"That's fine, but food—"

"Don't worry about this. The soldiers have three days' food on their bodies, and the army has ten days' food. We can eat for a few days after killing the animals accompanying the army. We have at least half a month's rations. There must not be so much food!"

"That's true!" Liu An nodded. People have long legs, but food doesn't grow legs. The rebel army has grown so fast, the only way to get food is to loot and move around, not to besiege themselves for more than ten days.After thinking about it, he asked, "What do you think should be done?"

"First of all, kill all the animals except the horses, so that the soldiers can eat well! Secondly, cut more wood and strengthen the fence; the rest is to pray to the gods and Buddhas!"

"You're right!" Liu An's voice became lower and lower: "Sanlang, gods and Buddhas will bless us, right?"

Wang Wenzuo picked up the arrow and broke it with force: "Gods and Buddhas will only bless those who help themselves!"

Outside, there were noisy carriages and horses everywhere, and it was a mess.People shouted loudly and were busy deepening the trench and strengthening the fence. There was fine snow in the air. Wang Wenzuo stretched out his right hand, and the snowflakes fell on the palm and melted immediately.He let out a long breath and walked towards his tent.

"Sancho! You take my badge and go to the place where the cattle are slaughtered, and all the beef tendon comes, and you say I am useful!" Wang Wenzuo took off his badge and handed it to Sancho who was right behind him.

"Yes, sir!" Sancho responded, and was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Wang Wenzuo again.

"Anything else?"

"Your hair!" Wang Wenzuo went to Sangqiu's side: "Do all Sanhan people have such long hair?"

"Yeah, what's the matter?" Sancho asked puzzled, "If there are no accidents, our men in Mahan will never shave their heads for the rest of their lives!"

"Very good, you go tell those soldiers that anyone who wants to shave their head can have meat tonight!"

"Only this thing?" Sha Zha Xiangru stretched out his fingers and fiddled with the wooden plate, and there was nothing in it except black boiled beans.

"Yeah!" Black Tooth Changzhi nodded, and picked up the spoon: "When I learned that Fu Xingong was welcoming His Royal Highness Feng back from the Kingdom of Japan, heroes from all over the world responded with troops to attack the Tang bandits and Silla thieves, but there was not enough food. If it wasn't for Zhenxian City has been captured, and there is no food for this black bean!"

Sha Zha Xiangru's face became ugly, he scooped a spoonful of beans into his mouth, chewed a few times and swallowed it with difficulty, as if taking medicine.It turned out that he and Hei Chi Changzhi were both noble chieftains of Baekje, and he himself was one of the eight noble surnames in Baekje, and his official position was higher than Hei Chi Chang.

The Fukunobu that they talked about was Fukunobu Onimuro, who was originally a branch of the Baekje royal family. In terms of seniority, he was still the cousin of King Uija, and he lived in Sahei (probably equal to the minister of the Ministry of War).In 660 A.D., Su Dingfang led an army across the sea to destroy Baekje. Soon after, he led the army back to the country and moved all the more than 1 people under King Uija of Baekje back to Datang.In this critical situation, Fukunobu Onimuro organized the remaining forces of Baekje to resist, and at the same time sent envoys to Japan to ask for assistance, and welcomed the prince Fuyu Fengzhang, who was held hostage in Japan, back to the country and became king.The Japanese sent people back to Fuyu Fengzhang, and donated a large amount of supplies, declaring that they would send all their soldiers to help. The nobles and heroes in the old Baekje area responded with troops. For a time, the old Baekje border was full of wars, and the states and counties changed their flags one after another.

Sha Zha Xiangru ate a few mouthfuls, but couldn't finish it, so he pushed the plate away and said in a low voice, "Chang Zhi, do you think what the Japanese did this time has ulterior motives?"

"That's natural. Although it is said that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, but it is not in vain?" Hei Chi Changzhi ate very deliciously, as if the plate was not boiled beans, but ordinary delicacies: "However, the relationship between this country and the Japanese country is very close. , even if it falls into the hands of the Japanese in the end, it is better than the Silla and Tang people at a lower price!"

Sha Zha Xiangru nodded. It turned out that at the beginning of Tang Dynasty, the Korean Peninsula was in the period of "the former three kingdoms", namely Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje.Among them, both Goguryeo and Baekje were countries established by the Buyeo people (an ethnic group in the northeast of my country from Han to Tang), while the Silla people were countries established by the native peoples of the peninsula, that is, the Sanhan people.Goguryeo is located in Liaodong and the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, Baekje is in the southwest of the Korean Peninsula, and Silla is in the southeastern part of the peninsula.
