Ji Han Liu Zhang

Chapter 108 Flying everywhere

Cang County.

"Qushuai, the roads in this county are really difficult to navigate. The roads are full of potholes. I'm afraid the roads in Shu will be even three-thirds of the way there. How can there be such dilapidated roads?"

Gan Jiu complained to Gan Ning that he had a headache with the roads in Zangyi County. He felt that it would be better to go to Yuexi County and Zhuti County to conquer Zangyi County. From Bodao to Yuexi County and Zangyi County, at least there would be waterways to transport troops. , unlike entering Zangqi County from Bo Road, there is only one Nanyi Road to march.

This Nanyi Road, which was built between cliffs, gave him a lot of experience along the way. It is one step wider and more than [-] miles of sloping road. Half of the wall is elevated, and it is dangerous and dangerous. The ravines are narrow, long and deep, and the cliffs stand against each other. The mountain springs are high and the streams are rapid.

Before Gan Ning could respond, Zhao Liu from Guanzhong spoke: "The Nanyi Road was built during the time of Emperor Xiaowu. At that time, in order to pacify the increasingly powerful Nanyue Kingdom, Emperor Xiaowu sent Tang Meng as envoy Yelang to open up the road. It leads from the Zangdao River to Panyu."

"The Nanyi Road that was built at the beginning was still a spacious and flat road, comparable to the Five Feet Road built by our Great Qin. However, after the Nanyue Kingdom was destroyed, the role of the Nanyi Road was reduced, and few people would repair it."

“It’s because of its age and disrepair that’s why this road is so dilapidated.”

"Hey, how come you know so clearly?" Gan Jiu was surprised. He, a Bajun native, didn't know much about Nanyi Dao, but Zhao Liu from Guanzhong spoke with great clarity.

Zhao Liu showed a proud look on his face and said in a light tone: "Because Nai Gong loves learning and studies hard, there is nothing he doesn't know."

"Tch, why didn't you become a doctor instead of working in the army to make a living?" Gan Jiu said disdainfully. Zhao Liu was from a better background than him, so he was more knowledgeable than him. He was a little convinced, but It will never be exposed on the face.

It is impossible to bow your head, and you will never bow your head in this life.

Seeing the two military commanders bickering, Gan Ning, who was walking in front, shook his head with a smile on his face.

At this time, a scout with an order flag tied to his back ran non-stop to the central army where they were located, dismounted and reported the news he had detected to the army commander Gan Ning.

"Captain Lieutenant, there are barbarians setting up a camp at the Yachi River ahead to block our army's advance."

After hearing this, Gan Ning asked Gan Jiu to coordinate the army to move forward, and then he took Zhao Liu, who was born in Guanzhong and had excellent riding skills, to the Yachi River to observe the enemy's situation under the guidance of scouts.

Not long after, Gan Ning led his knights to a high ground, looked at and commented on the Soyi camp that had begun to take shape.

'The trench was dug too shallow and too narrow, and a quick charge could cross it. The trench digging failed. '

'The fort did not use antlers, it looked like a bamboo tiger made of bamboo, but the ends were not sharpened, so the bamboo tiger failed. '

'The barrier was just made of wood stuck in the ground, not rammed earth. When the wind blew, the wood used as the barrier actually shook. The barrier really failed. '

'Where's the watchtower? Gan Ning swept around the Soyi camp, but he didn't see the tall watchtower.

It is true that a tiger cannot be compared to a dog. He sneered and gave zero points to the fortress built by the Soyi imitating the Han army.

No matter how stupid the generals of the Han army were, they could not build such a fortress.While Gan Ning was spying on the Soyi camp, the Soyi people in the opposite camp discovered them. The camp was in chaos at first, with various sounds passing back and forth. It took a long time for the Soyi camp to finally finally It calmed down, and at the same time the camp gate opened wide, and a group of Soyi knights riding Nanzhong ponies rushed towards Gan Ning and his party.

"That's it." Zhao Liu looked at Soyi who was riding a horse as short as a donkey and swaying on the horse's back, and commented disdainfully.

He raised his spear and looked at Gan Ning, waiting for Gan Ning to give the signal to attack. The other knights following Gan Ning also grasped their spears and turned to look at Gan Ning.

Gan Ning shook his head at them and led them back.

Looking at the sky, Gan Ning made up his mind to wait until night, now he could make Soyi happy.

Yongchang County, Buwei County.

When Yongchang County was too remote, barbarians were everywhere, miasma was prevalent, and plague was rampant, no county governor dared to come to Yongchang County to take office. Therefore, Yong Buyi, as the envoy of the Yong family, approached the county magistrate who controlled the power of Yongchang County. Lu Chang.

"Lv Juncheng, have you decided to work with the head of my family on this important matter?" Yong Buyu asked cautiously with a smile on his face.

He came to Yongchang County several times, but Lu Chang either closed the door and didn't see him, or when he saw him, he didn't give him a good look, and rigidly asked him to go back to persuade Yong Mian to give up his rebellion and plead guilty.

But this time it was different. Not only did Lu Chang meet him, but his face was not as bad as before. This gave him a burst of hope. This trip might be successful and win over Lu Chang, the Yongchang County commander. The nominal county magistrate, but the actual county governor.

Lu Chang smiled, but shook his head, and continued: "I, the official of the Lu family, have been leading the county for three generations now. I am rooted in this land of the barbarians. I am like a small boat in the waves. If I am not careful, the boat will be destroyed." Destroy the clan."

"We are able to survive to this day only because of the protection of the Han Dynasty. The court knew how hard it was for us to wait, and exempted us from rent and taxes from time to time. We also sent strong soldiers to pacify the rebellious barbarians in Yongchang County and protect us."

"If they lose the protection of the imperial court and have no support, the group of barbarians huddled in the mountains and forests will show their claws and claws at the Han people in Yongchang County like us. Can we resist with our military strength?"

"So you want me to betray the imperial court, is this possible? This is impossible."

Lu Chang, who had made his attitude clear, then told the latest news he had received: "Shijun Liu's conquest army has gone south. The day when the Yong family will be exterminated is not far away, so why bother to drag me, the Lu family."

Yong Buyi had a look of surprise on his face. He didn't expect that Lu Chang knew the news about Chengdu's army going south.

At this time, a burly man appeared on both sides of him. He stretched out his hands and restrained him firmly, unable to move.

"Lv Juncheng, what do you mean?" Yong Buyi, who was trying to break free, had cold sweat on his head and back, and asked Lu Chang in horror.

"Of course I will send you on your way." Lu Chang said expressionlessly, killing the light in Yong Buyi's eyes with one sentence.

As for the current situation in Nanzhong, the balance of victory has completely tilted towards the newly appointed Ambassador Liu, who needs Yong Buyi's head to show his loyalty to Liu Zhang.

Yong Buyi, who was making a pig-killing cry, was dragged off. Others were invited to attend. The chiefs of the Chen, Zhao, Xie, Yang and other clans in Yongchang County had some hesitations about siding with Liu Zhang before. Everyone expressed their attitude to Lu Chang: "Yongchang is all decided by the county magistrate, and we have nothing to say."
