Ji Han Liu Zhang

Chapter 137 Ailaoyi
Yuexi County, east of Qiongdu City.

After sacrificing the lives of more than a hundred barbarians, and taking advantage of the terrain in the east of Qiongdu City that was not conducive for knights to run, he was able to get rid of Gao Ding who was chasing the knights. He breathed a long sigh of relief and felt a little distressed at the same time. He led him out of the city. There are not many barbarians in the country, but now they have lost more than a hundred strong barbarians. How can this not be distressing?

But these were necessary sacrifices. Without the sacrifices of these more than a hundred strong barbarians, how could he have shaken off the chasing cavalry? The sacrifices of these people brought a glimmer of hope to the Gao clan, and his dragons entered the sea and tigers entered the mountains and forests. .

Not long after walking, when passing a fork in the road, Gaoding did not choose the broad and flat road, but chose the steep and narrow path between the cliffs.

He used an idea that was different from ordinary people and deliberately did not take the broad and flat road. Instead, he directed his barbarians to go to the paths with poor road conditions to avoid the officers and soldiers who might follow behind.

"Yong Mian."

"Liu Zhang."

Gao Ding muttered these two names in a low voice. These two names had a grudge against him for killing his father. These two names had a blood feud with him.

Suppressing the killing intent rolling in his chest, Gao Ding's eyes burned brightly. He was determined to kill these two people in this life to vent his hatred for today.

But he also knew that even if he annexed all the Yi tribes in Nanzhong and led all the barbarians to revolt, the most he could do was kill Yong Mian, the head of the Yong clan. As for attacking and killing Liu Zhang, who was the shepherd of Yizhou, he would never do it. Possible things.

But even though he couldn't kill Liu Zhang and avenge his father's murder, he still wanted to really disgust Liu Zhang. After Liu Zhang led the army to leave Nanzhong, he jumped out to surprise Liu Zhang, stir up trouble in Nanzhong, and prevent Nanzhong from being disturbed. As Liu Zhang wished, he settled down.

But right now, he needs to tuck his tail between his legs and lead his tribe, flee away from Liu Zhang's sight, secretly accumulate strength, and strengthen the Gao family.

In his mind, he was thinking about how to act in the future, how to disgust Liu Zhang, and make Liu Zhang unhappy when his class teacher returned to Chengdu. Gao Ding, who was feeling some pleasure, heard a burst of crossbows and arrows coming from the cliffs on the left and right. Sound, this unusual sound.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."

Arrows like raindrops shot straight down from the cliffs on the left and right sides. When Gao Ding raised his head to check the situation, his pupils reflected a dense cold light. In an instant, the Gao clan members hit by these arrows fell on their backs. , a bow arrow even hit Gao Ding's knee.

"what."

Gao Ding felt the severe pain in his knees and yelled. Then under the pain that penetrated into his bones, he could not sit still on the horse, and his whole body tilted to one side from the Nanzhong horse under his seat. He fell down and fell to the ground with a 'plop', and then continued to make wailing sounds on the ground.

Gaoding was not the only one who made wails. Arrows from the cliffs on both sides hit a large number of Yi people, either in their cheeks or in their hands and feet. The more unlucky Yi people were hit by arrows. The arrow hit his head, and he lost three souls and seven souls in an instant.At the same time, the rumbling war drums were like thunder, covering up the wails of the barbarians, echoing in front and back of this carefully selected path.

'It seems that today's hunting will not return empty-handed. Standing on the cliff, Xi Su looked at the panicked Yi people below who were hit by the rain of arrows, and felt a sense of joy in his heart. He was sent here by Liu Zhang and has been guarding it for several days. Today he finally found his prey.

Xi Su commanded his soldiers to encircle them front and rear, and at the same time ordered the archers and crossbowmen on the cliffs on both sides to continue shooting down the barbarians who were seeking shelter under the rain of arrows.

Under such circumstances, Gao Ding, as the new Yi King, should stand up and stand on the front line to create a way for the tribe to survive.

But Gao Ding was hit by an arrow in the knee and fell from his mount. After wailing for a while, he fainted from the pain on the ground. Although under the protection of a group of personal guards, Gao Ding who fainted from the pain would not be rushed around. , the barbarians who were avoiding the rain of arrows were trampled to death, but Gaoding lost the ability to command the barbarians to charge into the formation.

The Yi people who have lost the backbone of Gaoding are like ants on a hot pot, fleeing in all directions, but their current position is surrounded by cliffs on both sides. On the cliffs are continuous rain of arrows, and the valley mouth that can avoid the rain of arrows is the valley mouth. The officers and soldiers formed a formation to block the entrance of the valley.

This group of Yi people who had followed Yi King Gaoyuan in Yueqi County and oppressed Han'er for many years were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. They were either killed by arrows shot from the cliffs on both sides, or stabbed with spears by the officers and soldiers at the mouth of the valley. They dug a dozen holes and paid the price they deserved for what they had done in the past.

When the Yi king Gao Yuan and the Yong family merged, Gao Yuan was killed by Yong Mian, and Yong Mian was killed by Lou Sheng, and Qiongdu was pacified, Liu Zhang did not immediately move the camp to Qiongdu, but ordered Shen Mi and Lou Fa carefully cleaned up and arrested the barbarians in Qiongdu City, but the army was still stationed outside Qiongdu City.

While waiting, Liu Zhang received a report of victory from Xi Su. Gao Ding, the son of Yi King Gaoyuan, was shot in the knee by an arrow and was captured alive by Xi Su. Gao Ding led his men to escape from Qiongdu City, but most of them were killed by Xi Su. No one escaped, and Xi Su was currently clearing the battlefield and escorting the surrendered barbarians back.

The stronghold continued to be established outside the city for two days. After Qiongdu City was cleaned inside and outside, Liu Zhang rode a tall horse and entered Qiongdu City with the support of a group of knights.

Entering Qiongdu City means that the rebellion in Yuexi County has been eliminated. In addition, Yizhou County was pacified by the combined forces of Wu Yi and Gan Ning. The rebellion of Zhu Bao, the governor of Zangda County, was put down by the combined efforts of the major clans in Zangda County. .

Now that all of Nanzhong had been pacified, Liu Zhang was in a good mood. He received a document from Yongchang County Prime Minister Lu Chang at the county temple in Qiongdu City. The document said that the Ailao Yi in the south of Yongchang County had been uneasy recently and rebelled from time to time. , sending troops to wreak havoc everywhere.

Although this document did not mention asking for help, and Lu Chang also claimed in the document that Yongchang's troops could be used to quell the situation, but Liu Zhang had some ideas. Although Ailaoyi was not well-known at the moment, he would be famous in the future.

It is recorded in Volume 220 of the New Tang Dynasty, "Nanman": Nanzhao, also known as Hetuo, Longwei, Jumei, Yangjian, originally Ailao Yi, a different species of Wuman.In Yi language, the king is called "Edict".

There were six former Qushuai, who called themselves "Liu Zhao", namely Meng Xiu Zhao, Yue Xi Zhao, Lang Qiong Zhao, Qi Sui Zhao, Shi Lang Zhao and Meng She Zhao.The army was in a state of disarray, and it was impossible to support the king. Zhuge Liang of Shu decided to make a decision.

Liu Zhang would not ignore the Ailao Yi, the predecessor of the Nanzhao Kingdom in the Tang Dynasty. He sent Shen Mi and Lou Fa to Yongchang County, and joined forces with Yongchang County's Prime Minister Lu Chang to exterminate the Ailao Yi species, and they would still be seedlings. The Nanzhao Kingdom stepped on it hard. Even if it couldn't crush this seedling to death, it would still delay the rise of Nanzhao, a big country in the southwest.
