Competing

Chapter 459 Chapter [-]
The barbarians mentioned by Gong Ao and his son were mainly concentrated in the mountains, forests, lakes and swamps near Linjiang Kingdom. Later, there was a unified name called Wuling barbarians!

Its general distribution is mainly in the upper water system of Dongting. Because they have lived in the mountains and forests for a long time, the barbarian status is very strong, and the combat effectiveness of the barbarians is self-evident.

Now the barbarian gathering area is considered to be a unified situation, led by the leader Yun Hao, with [-] warriors under his command, which is still very powerful in the southern area.Even the nearby Yelang Kingdom can do nothing to them, and they maintain a very good relationship with each other.

Before that, the Qin army came here when they destroyed Chu and built the Lingqu. At that time, the barbarians were frightened by the strength of the Qin army, so they surrendered one after another.After the fall of Qin, no one could govern them, and the barbarians once again enjoyed themselves.

As for Linjiang Kingdom, Linjiang King Gong Ao was timid and afraid of getting into trouble, so after taking office, he intentionally reduced his troops, and there was no conflict between the barbarians, and they lived in peace with each other.

Even the leader of the barbarians, Yun Hao, became friends with the prince of Linjiang Kingdom unintentionally, which is quite a good story.

But everything changed because of the attack of the Vietnamese army...

Between the valley, a huge fortress stretches from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. It is Yunhao's residence, Qingshan Village!

The rippling river flows down the mountain, with a few wooden boats passing by from time to time on the river, and a gazebo by the river.An elegant young man is sitting by the river fishing, looking very leisurely.

The young man was quite clear-eyed, and a pair of heroic eyes shone with wisdom.It can be seen from his appearance and clothing that he is not from the Central Plains, but there is a kind of refined and educated temperament in his gestures and gestures.This person is Yun Hao, the leader of the barbarians. He has admired the Central Plains culture since he was a child, learned a lot, and even traveled to Chu area himself.

Yun Hao also deliberately chose a name for himself, called Qingshan, because his hometown is in the Qingshan Baiyun.It wasn't until his father died of illness that he returned to his hometown to take over the position of the leader of the barbarians.Influenced by the Central Plains culture for many years, there is a big difference between him and the traditional barbarian leader, which is reflected in many aspects...

The buildings by the river are slightly different from the barbarian buildings on the top of the mountain, and have a lot more Central Plains style, which is exactly the expression of his admiration for the Central Plains culture.Yun Hao sat among the green mountains and green waters, looking refreshed and very comfortable, but the seriousness in his eyebrows showed that he was in deep thought.

Footsteps sounded, Yun Hao knew someone was coming without turning his head, and asked, "Uncle Jiu, the envoy of the Han Kingdom is gone?"

"Yes, it has already been sent out!" A 60-year-old man behind him replied softly.

Yun Hao sighed lightly and said, "Uncle Nine, thank you for your hard work, but the matter is not over yet, I think there will be people coming in the next two days!"

"Is there anyone else coming?" Uncle Jiu expressed his ignorance about this. It was a very strange thing that the envoys of the Han Dynasty suddenly appeared in their barbarian territory.

Yun Hao nodded lightly: "Yes, there are still people coming!"

"Who could it be?" Uncle Jiu couldn't help but wonder.

Yun Hao said indifferently: "Linjiang Kingdom, maybe it is Linjiang Kingdom Prince Gongwei!"

"The one who met the young man while hunting in Dongting? What did he come for? Could it be that the purpose of Han Guo is the same!"

"Yes, I had expected people from the Linjiang Congress before, but the envoys of the Han Kingdom were quite surprised!" Yun Qing sighed softly.

……

Sure enough, when Prince Gongwei of Linjiang Kingdom arrived on the second day, Uncle Jiu knew that the young master had expected well.

"Brother Qingshan!" Gongwei looked proud when he met him, with a pleasant smile, and a lot of intimacy between his expressions.

"Welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Linjiang Kingdom!" Yun Qingshan chuckled, and directly named the relationship, some things are no longer necessary until now.

Gongwei's heart moved, he knew that Yun Qingshan might have seen his identity, but he never mentioned it in the past.Because of the delicate relationship between Linjiang Kingdom and the barbarians, he pretended not to know each other.But today, Yun Qingshan revealed his identity when he came to the door today, why?
He knew Yun Qingshan's cleverness and wisdom, and if he revealed his identity, then his visit was not personal in nature.It is the communication between Linjiang Kingdom and the barbarians, which has a lot more businesslike meaning to each other.This made Gong Wei feel a little bit of bad premonition, perhaps Yun Qingshan has already noticed something, it seems that this trip may be a little difficult.

Gongwei smiled and said: "I'm sorry, I have concealed so much in the past, it's my brother's fault!"

Yun Qingshan knew it well, he had already seen the identity of Gong Wei, but he didn't call names.As for Lieutenant Gong, perhaps he had some utilitarian intentions from the very beginning, and calling him brother and brother with the prince of Linjiang Kingdom, this matter is naturally not that simple.

"It's okay! The prince's status is precious, so naturally he can't reveal his identity easily!" Yun Qingshan said with a smile: "I don't know what the prince's order is today?"

The uneasiness in Gongwei's heart became more intense, and he smiled: "What is the order? Brother Qingshan is serious, and the younger brother is very upset. To be honest, if I come here today, I want to talk to the elder brother."

"Oh?" Yun Qingshan naturally knew what was going on, but sometimes he had to pretend to be confused.

Gongwei said: "It's like this. Brother Qingshan must have heard that the Yue army's westward march has approached our Linjiang country, and the army of the general Zhang Han of the Yue country has also arrived nearby. Threat, Brother Qingshan is afraid that it is not safe here, so the younger brother is here to ask Brother Qingshan to send troops, and we will join forces to resist the army of Yue!"

"Oh? The Linjiang Kingdom has strong soldiers and strong horses, and the Vietnamese army has worked hard to go on an expedition. I think there must be a way to come to your country. As for my tribe, most of them are old and weak. They have not fought for many years. I am afraid that sending troops will only hurt your country!" Yun Qingshan The words were full of euphemistic refusals, and he didn't seem to agree to this matter.

Gongwei's heart suddenly turned cold, and Yun Qingshang declined it with a single mouth. Could it be that his trip is really going to fail?If there were no barbarians to send troops, relying on him alone would not be an opponent of the Yue people at all.

But at this time, it is impossible for Gong Wei to just give up casually, and said with a smile: "Brother Qingshan is humble, the warriors of your department are brave and good at fighting, which proves that the South, how can the Vietnamese army be your opponent? Yue Guo is in Jiangdong Min Yue and Dong Ou were wiped out without hesitation. It can be seen that the king of Yue was afraid of the forces behind him, and he mostly used thunderous means. Now that Jiangdong is pacified, it is our turn. Brother Qingshan has to be careful what!"

"Dong Ou and Minyue deliberately made enemies of the Yue country, and the result of sending troops to attack first is their own fault. As for our department has no connection with the Yue country at all, it will not be so serious!" Yun Qingshang lightly Shake your head.

Gongwei said: "Brother Qingshan, you are too optimistic. How can you allow others to snore and sleep beside the couch? Yin Xu is now aiming at the south, and he will not let any of us go easily. Brother Qingshan who is so cold to the end should understand that if we are about to Jianguo is destroyed, and your situation will be very bad, and it will be too late to resist at that time!"

Yun Qingshan shook his head lightly and said: "The crown prince's words are serious..."

"Brother Qingshan, everything I say below is the truth, don't you regret it when the time comes!"

Yun Qingshan still smiled calmly and said: "Prince, don't scare me, Qingshan is free to make decisions!"

Gongwei didn't expect that Yun Qingshan would refuse such directness, and he didn't even give himself a chance.Speaking of which, he really wanted to use the power of the barbarians, but there was also a lot of unity in it. After explaining the reason and the critical situation, Yun Qingshan still didn't care.This situation is really abominable, and Gong Wei is very angry.

But now is not the time to have conflicts with Yun Qingshan, and besides, Gongwei must not give up until the last moment.Since the actual threat has no effect, it seems that the Yue people have come to lobby before, or have given extremely heavy gifts and promises, which made Yun Qingshan so firm.

Gongwei smiled and said: "Brother Qingshan, the situation is critical this time. After we fight back together, our country can withdraw all its forces from Dongting. With Daze as the boundary, how about dividing the two countries?"

It is self-evident that such a huge concession will benefit the barbarians so much.Even Uncle Jiu, who had been standing silently behind him, couldn't help being shocked. In this way, the power of the barbarians will be greatly developed.The land area is even comparable to that of the Yelang Kingdom. Such a situation will be of great significance to the barbarians.Gongwei's ability to put forward such a big condition shows how critical the situation in Linjiang Kingdom is. Such a huge temptation is hard to refuse.

Uncle Jiu thought that even if Yun Qingshan hesitated, he would eventually agree, but the implementation was not like this.Yun Qingshan said indifferently: "Thank you for the kindness of the prince, but the homeland is hard to leave. Our people have lived among the green mountains and green waters for generations, and we have already fallen in love with this place, and have no plans to move."

Gongwei's face suddenly changed, he thought that making such a huge concession would be enough to persuade Yun Qingshan to move.But I didn't expect that even so, Yun Qingshan was still unmoved, what should I do?Gongwei didn't expect the barbarians to be so stubborn, it's really disappointing!

Gongwei left in such disappointment, Yun Qingshan didn't stop him, and didn't send him off, everything was peaceful.

After Gong Wei left, Uncle Jiu was quite puzzled and said: "Young Master, the State of Yue is attacking Linjiang State this time, and it is completely reasonable for Gong Wei and the others to come to ask for help. What's the relationship, so much trouble to come to lobby us?"

Yun Hao smiled lightly and said, "It's irrelevant now, but it will be different in the future. After occupying the Linjiang Kingdom, the Yue Kingdom and the Han Kingdom will border each other. The King of Han is planning ahead!"

"They all want us to send troops? What exactly do they want?" Uncle Jiu felt that what Yun Hao said was a bit complicated and profound, and he couldn't figure it out for a while.This is indeed the case. They have always lived here, aloof from the world, and have no contact with the princes of the Central Plains.Unexpectedly, in the past few days, the princes came to visit continuously, the old man was a little confused about the key points, but fortunately, the young master was in charge of everything.

Yun Hao said: "It's about jointly resisting the Vietnamese army's attack, but in fact, they all want our party to replace the dead ghosts, and want us to help them deal with the Vietnamese army!"

"My lord, the threat from the Yue Kingdom is real. What Gongwei said is correct. We should deal with it. Joint operations might be a good way." The barbarians are not afraid of combat, Even the rumored powerful Yue army has no fear. If the Yue country threatens the safety of their tribe, they will definitely give a heavy counterattack.It's just that how to arrange the specific things and how to do it still needs to be arranged by the young master.

Yunhao said: "Uncle Jiu, have you been moved by Linjiang Kingdom's illusory promises? If Gongwei made such a promise, he would undoubtedly be giving away the land of Linjiang Kingdom. How much sincerity do you think there is in it? ?Furthermore, the benefits and risks of any matter are equal. The land around Dongting is good, but can we completely control it?"

Uncle Jiu shook his head and said: "That's just one aspect. It's not unreasonable that the Yue people are a big threat to us! Although the Yue people are powerful, we are not completely invincible to them. Good deal."

Yun Hao shook his head and said: "That's what I said, but look at Dongou and Minyue, what will happen after the strong resistance? On the contrary, now, after surrendering to the Yue Kingdom, the situation is completely different!"

"What? The young master means to return to the Yue Kingdom?" Uncle Jiu was very surprised by this, this is not the habit of their barbarians.

Yun Hao said: "What's the matter, let's discuss it in the long run, as for the matter of dispatching troops, we will not get involved!"

"Young master, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. If the Linjiang Kingdom is destroyed, we may not be able to survive alone!" Jiu Shu still did not give up on this, and was still very worried.

Yun Hao shook his head and said, "Uncle Nine, that's not the case, so what if we send troops? Let me tell you the result, the Zhang Han Division of the Vietnamese Army will turn their guns to deal with us, while the Linjiang Kingdom will stand by and watch, even if it is If you want to rescue, you will be held back by Pu Jun, and our situation will be very pessimistic!"

"What about Zhang Han? Although he is powerful, we still have a great advantage in fighting among the mountains and forests. The Vietnamese army may not be our opponent?" Uncle Jiu was very disapproving.

Yun Hao shook his head and said: "Maybe, but in this way, our consumption will be huge. Don't forget, the people of Qin State gave us a big blow. Now that the tribe has just recovered, I don't want to suffer any more because of this. damage."

Uncle Jiu was saddened, knowing that what the young master said was not unreasonable, he said softly: "Young master, then we shouldn't let Gongwei leave, and it would be a good thing to capture him and hand him over to the Yue people!"

Yun Qingshan shook his head and said: "I, Yun Qingshan, do things openly and aboveboard, so let's forget about such things!"
