Horse on the World

Chapter 926
The appearance of King Ning temporarily reassured the generals of the southern army, but the Qiang tribe was not so reassuring. It is under the control of King Ning, and Meng Zhen of Mangantu Cave has almost always opposed the existence of King Ning, but because Mangantu Cave is too dangerous and too far away from here, he is temporarily ignored. Among them, only the leaders of the four villages came.Among the other five villages, three villages claimed that they were preparing for war and preparing to defend against the attack of the Dingzhou army, while the other two villages did not make any sound at all, which revealed a strong ominous meaning.

King Ning is not good at walking, and Zhong Ziqi, who was in charge of contacting King Ning in the past, has no news, no one is alive, no dead body is seen, so he has the weight to run around in the mountains, and the burden of contacting the leaders of the families falls without hesitation. On the body of Qin Kaiyuan, the son of Prince Ning.

With a face of black sweat, he came out of the dense forest, saw a winding path stretching out in front of him, and the Shaluo Cave was still missing. Qin Kaiyuan couldn't help showing annoyance. I don't think so, now it's my turn, and I realize that this is really not an easy job, not to mention the intrigues with those treacherous tribal leaders, elders, and verbal swords. It is definitely not an easy job. Qin Kaiyuan is considered a military general anyway, and he is also out of breath at this time. Thinking of the fact that Zhong Ziqi spent most of his time in this kind of life a few days ago, for Zhong Ziqi Ziqi's disappearance Qin Kaiyuan really felt a little sad.

"My lord, the location of Meng Junjian in Shaluodong is not only located at the key point of Shiwanda Mountain, but more importantly, his strength should not be underestimated. He ranks fourth in Twelve Cave Village, which is also his The capital at both ends of the first mouse, many people are looking at him, as long as he expresses his attitude accurately, Tumen Village and Sanxi Village, which are close to Shaluo Cave, will not have a different heart." His clothes are sparsely hooked by thorns The chaotic counselor Huang Chang sat on the ground, rubbing his legs, and said to Qin Kaiyuan.

"I know!" Qin Kaiyuan nodded, "Can you still walk?"

Huang Chang gritted his teeth and stood up. The soles of his feet were tingling, and he didn't know how many blisters he had caused. "It's okay, my son, let's go!"
In Shaluo Cave, Meng Junjian was sitting on a tiger-skin chair, with more than a dozen tribal elders gathered together. The drastic changes in the [-] mountains made everyone feel uneasy. The situation is changing.
"Everyone, let's talk about it. The Great Elder has already said that Malanhua sent someone to contact us secretly. She has already arrived at the foot of the mountain. If everyone is willing to meet, you can let her go up the mountain." Meng Junjian looked For everyone, said.

"Behind Ma Lanhua is the Dingzhou people. Now that Dingzhou has broken through the Niujiao Village, the army is about to enter the Hundred Thousand Mountains. I might as well see it. It's another way. I can't follow King Ning's path." Go to the dark." An elder said: "King Ning is already at the end of the day."

"That's not necessarily true. Although Dingzhou broke Niujiao Village, it only broke the gate of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. I really want to compete with us. How much Li Qing's troops will be restrained by the Hundred Thousand Mountains? Will Li Qing do this? So I Said, we are waiting for the price, and whoever offers the highest price will do it. Although King Ning is poor, he still has Luoyang! Cave master, didn't Qiu Zhi also send someone here a few days ago?"

"Qiu Zhi was separated by Lu Dalin in Bozhou, and all the checks he wrote were empty promises, but he asked us to work hard, how easy is that?" Meng Junjian said.

"Cave Master, King Ning is indeed at the end of the road for Dingzhou, but to us, he is still a giant beast. Now the southern army is stationed at the key points of the [-] mountains. There are more than a thousand Southern soldiers here in Luodong, if they turn their faces at this time, they will inevitably clash with them, please be careful!" Another elder was a little worried.
"It's okay to see it!" One person stood up, "But we don't need to express our opinion in a hurry, anyway, the Dingzhou Army is still far away from us now, and Malanhua is weak in the mountains, so it won't be able to make big waves for a while. Let's talk to her first. Let's talk about it."
The crowd debated in a hurry, and finally decided to look at the situation first, and just as they were talking, a Qiang soldier walked in and whispered something in Meng Junjian's ear. Meng Junjian's expression changed, and he suddenly became angry again Laughing, "It's really interesting, but everyone guess who is here?"

"Who?"
"Qin Kaiyuan, Prince Ning's son, has already gone up the mountain and joined the southern army stationed on the mountain. Now he is coming to our side and said he wants to meet me."

Everyone in the room looked at each other in blank dismay, Qin Kaiyuan came over at this time, his intention was self-evident, of course he was worried about Meng Junjian.
"Come on, please!" Meng Junjian laughed and stood up, "Elder Elder, you can make arrangements to let Malanhua go up the mountain too, what will happen if we let them come together as a couple?"
Walking on the road to the main village of Shaluo Cave, Qin Kaiyuan was in a heavy heart. The entire Shaluo Cave was heavily guarded along the way, and the Dingzhou Army is still far away from the Shaluo Cave. It is self-evident who is guarding.It seemed that Meng Junjian did have a different heart. How to appease him was a difficult problem.
Chen Bo, the general of the Southern Army stationed in Shaluodong who accompanied him, said to Qin Kaiyuan in a low voice: "My lord, since Niujiaozhai was breached, Shaluodong has become estranged from us, and the supplies we provide are no longer as I was so active before, the prince must be careful, I have already made arrangements there, if Sha Luodong has bad intentions, we will withdraw immediately, and my subordinates will take care of the prince to withdraw."

A wry smile appeared on Qin Kaiyuan's face, "It shouldn't be this far. The biggest possibility for Meng Junjian is to wait and see and wait for the price. He won't do anything to me."
"People's hearts are in the belly, who knows what he thinks?" Chen Bo said: "It's always right to be careful."

"Well, go and arrange it, but be careful, don't let Shaluo Cave know, otherwise it will show that we are not sincere."
"My son, if it's really impossible, we might as well raid the Shaluo Cave, control Meng Junjian and other elders, and then coerce the emperor to make the princes not afraid of any more tricks in the Shaluo Cave!" Chen Bo said bitterly.
Qin Kaiyuan stopped in his tracks and looked back at Chen Bo, "This is the only way out of nowhere, and it will never work until the last step."
"Yes!"
The front gate of the village was wide open, and Meng Junjian led a group of elders and subordinates to welcome him out with a smile on his face. Qin Kaiyuan packed up his thoughts and walked towards Meng Junjian with his fists cupped while smiling.
Sanxi Village, Ma Lanhua is waiting for the news of Meng Junjian in Shaluo Cave. Niujiao Village is broken, and Ma Lanhua sends people to Sanxi Village. The main force of Sanxi Village decides to change the gate without hesitation. Luodong can be sold for a price, so it can only express its position in advance. Of course, in order to get paid, the prerequisite is to choose the opposite side. From the current point of view, Dingzhou is undoubtedly the best choice.Behind the Malanhua is Dingzhou. To take refuge in Malanhua is to take refuge in Dingzhou. It is best that the big villages in Shaluodong resist to the end, and then they are wiped out one by one by the Dingzhou army. Then when the Dingzhou army withdraws from Shiwandashan At that time, I can become the master of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
It is impossible for the Dingzhou army to stay in the [-] mountains for a long time, and they are convinced of this horsepower.
As Sanxi Village turned to Malanhua, for more than ten days, Malanhua's subordinates have been gathering from the depths of the mountains to Sanxi Village. What surprised Ma Li was that Malanhua's subordinates already had nearly 5000 troops. Among them, there are only more than 1000 Qiang soldiers belonging to Mazhen in Mengtudong, and there are more than [-] soldiers loyal to Mata scattered in other places, and the remaining [-] people are all dressed in black armor and extremely equipped Excellent, it turned out to be Dingzhou soldiers.

Niujiaozhai was breached, and the gate of Shiwanda Mountain was opened, and a small group of Dingzhou army's elite troops vigorously infiltrated into Shiwanda Mountain, and began to gather in Malanhua's hands.
"Miss!" Margan walked in, "Our eyeliner in Shaluo Cave has news that Qin Kaiyuan has gone to Shaluo Cave."
Marin stood up, "It seems that Qin Kaiyuan is going to win over Meng Junjian, sister, what should I do?"

"What is Meng Junjian thinking in his heart? I can't tell yet. Let's wait for the news first? Let's see how they reply to me?" Ma Lanhua pondered.
Su Hu said: "Miss Ma, this is an opportunity, no matter whether it is Qin Kaiyuan or Shaluodong, they will not think of us

With such a strong force gathered, we can take this opportunity to sneak attack Shaluo Cave and take them down in one fell swoop.Taking the Shaluo Cave and showing the flag can deter the surrounding Qiang people, and if Qin Kaiyuan falls into our hands, it can also cause chaos in the southern army. King Ning's health is already dead. The southern army has no leader, so it is much easier to deal with. "
"I'm afraid this will be difficult!" Ma Li shook his head and said, "As far as I know, the security of the Shaluo Cave has been heavily guarded these days, and troops have been continuously transferred to the main village. Obviously, the Shaluo Cave is also preparing for the emergency. Under the circumstances, it would be fine if the surprise attack on Shaluodong was successful, but if it failed, Meng Junjian would be pushed into the hands of the southern army. The strength of Shaluodong is strong, and Meng Junjian has a great influence among the surrounding Qiang people, far from us. It can be compared."
"Cave master, Miss, there are people coming from Shaluo Cave!" A Qiang soldier walked in and saluted the two of them.
"say what?"

"It is said that Cave Master Meng invited the lady to go up the mountain to discuss the big plan!" Qiang Bing said.
Everyone frowned, Qin Kaiyuan went up the mountain, and Meng Junjian invited Ma Lanhua to go up the mountain, what does this mean?
"I can't go, this guy has bad intentions. If my sister goes up the mountain and is detained by him and handed over to Qin Kaiyuan, we will be in trouble!" Marin said loudly.
Everyone nodded, and there was really no need to take this risk right now.
Ma Lanhua thought for a moment, then suddenly said: "No, I'll go, I just want to meet Qin Kaiyuan, Meng Junjian is nothing more than hedging the bet. I won't take any risks."

Su Hu pondered: "If Miss Ma goes up the mountain, we might as well take this opportunity to take down the Southern Army stationed near Shaluo Cave. They only have more than a thousand troops. Taking him down will also be a deterrent to Meng Junjian, let him I understand that the Dingzhou Army is actually very close to him."
