  Chapter 811 Raising bandits

  Juding spans the intersection of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi. A powerful tribal alliance existed since the pre-Qin period. It was attached to it in the Western Han Dynasty. Because it assisted the Han Dynasty in suppressing the southwest rebellion, its leader was named king.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, Wang Mang's new dynasty changed Juding to Zhengxian, but Juding refused to accept it. Hanju fought for nine years and suffered three major defeats. Since then, Juding has been in a slump and internal divisions. Although it lasted until the Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty, But it was not as good as before, and was even called the Liaozi Ministry by the Central Plains in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

  Qin Lang also never imagined that the various tribes of Juding, who were scattered like sand, were actually united because of the defeat of the Tang army's conquest, and a powerful woman named Nong Sanniang came out.

   "Fortunately, there is a Gaoping Fort built by Saburo in Guangyuan Prefecture, which forced the main force of the 50,000 Liao army to be restrained. Otherwise, I am afraid that they have already invaded the Zuoxi Zhuzhou village."

Gaoping Fort was when Qin Lang went south to fief, after he wiped out the family of Jinlong Dongnong in the upper reaches of Zuoxi River, he supported the son of the Zuoxi barbarian king to establish a new state, and he cooperated with him to mine gold mines in Gaoping Bazi and built a new state there. He built a bastion named Gaoping Fort, and farmed there.

  Back then, Qin Lang just felt that Gaopingba had a unique geography and a dangerous location, so he made a move when he had the opportunity, but he didn't expect it to have a big effect now.

   Juding soldiers divided into two groups, and made a large-scale eastward attack, attacking the left and right streams.

  The north road attacks Youxi, and the south road attacks Zuoxi.

The North Route Army, led by Nong Sanniang, went all the way, broke through Shuangcheng Prefecture, Tianzhou, Guilezhou, Houzhou, and Tianzhou, and killed Hengshan (Baise Tiandong). Last time, they followed the Qin family The Youxi barbarian kings who entered Juding were caught off guard this time, and they fled in panic.

  Southern Route Army was jointly attacked by Tuliao and Sharen in the upper reaches of Zuoxi. The Tubao was also part of Juding, which was beaten and fled in embarrassment.

   They broke through several newly established prefectures and counties in the Tang Dynasty in a row, and regained many lost villages. However, after they entered the upper reaches of Zuoxi River, they suffered a big loss at Gaoping Fort.

There are not many soldiers and horses in Gaoping Fort, and the castle is also very small, but Qin Lang moved a lot of people from the Central Plains there, most of them were gold miners and their families. Settling down and starting a business, the immigrants built an enclosed tulou house designed by Qin Lang for them, and they usually live together.

  Ordinary thieves, bandits and barbarians are not afraid. They all carry knives to **** and bows to hunt.

  The last time they attacked the Liaozi Department, many villagers from Gaopingbao joined the team with hunting bows, hatchets and long spears.

  The Liao people counterattacked, they took precautions in time and moved quickly.

  All the young and strong defended together. Relying on Gaoping Fort, more than a dozen villages were armed for defense.

  Several times of strong attacks, in front of the tall and strong earthen enclosures and bastions, there were heavy casualties.

   "We must immediately summon soldiers and horses to fight back!" Li Daliang is very tough. In the past few years, he has been fighting against the Heman and Liaozi in Annan, and he has never been soft.

  The last time he single-handedly planned the crusade against the Liaozi Ministry, he successfully opened up thirteen states. It has only been a long time, and the memorial for meritorious service has just been sent to Chang'an.

   "Things here are almost settled, I have to return to the state immediately."

  Li Daliang judged that the sudden appearance of Nong Sanniang and the attack of the Liaozi Department were a bit surprising. He estimated that since the Liaozi Department launched a massive counterattack, the Heman Department would definitely take the opportunity to send troops.

   "Fortunately, Saburo, you have already taken care of Guangzhou, otherwise it will be very difficult if the two ends are messed up."

  Li Daliang left as soon as he said he would, and after a brief discussion with Qin Lang, he left Guangzhou and returned to Jiaozhou on the same day.

  This time Qin Lang summoned the main officials from Sanguang to come to Guangzhou to discuss matters. Although it was to straighten out the foundation of Lingnan, it did cause some defensive problems in the border areas, which gave Juding an opportunity.

   But soldiers come to block, water comes and soil floods.

Although Juding is a tribal alliance that has been established since the Spring and Autumn Period, it has been more than 600 years since the Han Dynasty was crowned king to the southern Chen Liang internal strife and subjugation. It has been in chaos for 200 years, and now they are united again, and they must still have certain strength. .

You must know that during the Han Dynasty, Juding had demonstrated strong strength. Not only were there many tribes and strong soldiers and horses, but they also had very strong copper metallurgy technology. The level of copperware in Juding was quite high, even The economy was also once strong.

   It’s just that in the final analysis, it was later destroyed by internal and external difficulties, mainly due to internal strife.

  Now they can unite together, with a queen leading the way, ending the state of disunity and even internal fighting, and they become stronger.

  The plan Qin Lang and Li Daliang drew up was that Li Daliang rush back to Jiaozhou, organize troops out of the Red River, and march along the Ming River, Qiu River, and Panlong River into the bureaucrats to encircle Wei and save Zhao.

  And Qin Lang rushed to Yongzhou, where he organized soldiers and horses, first defending Yongzhou, and then using Yongzhou as his base camp, he sent reinforcements to the thirty-six barbarian tribes in the upper left and right streams.

  This battle can only be fought outside Zhengzhou, which is actually controlled by the imperial court, and in Jimi Prefecture, which is controlled by those barbarian kings.

   On the other hand, Qin Lang also asked Qin Yong, Qin Yong and the three generals of Ah Huang to rush back to the fiefdom of Wu'an Prefecture immediately. The three generals summoned the vassals and knights, etc., and stationed in Menzhou, echoing the steadfast soldiers of Gaoping Fort and restraining the Liao army.

   If there is a chance, guerrilla raids will harass the Liao army, or attack their supply lines from the rear.

"Don't confront them head-on, it's not worth it. You just need to check it from the side, so that they can't attack Gaoping Fort with all their strength. If Gaoping Fort really can't support it and lose it, there is nothing you can do. Your first task is to defend Menzhou , can’t let my Wu’an Prefecture gate fall, and can’t let the Liao army attack the fief.”

   "Anong, you also go back to the fief first. Ah Huang and his three generals are away, so you will be in charge of administrative logistics temporarily."

  Qin Lang planned to take a boat from Guangzhou to the sea, and then land in Qinzhou Port. Qinzhou to Yongzhou is about 200 miles away.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was a post road from Guilin to Yongzhou and then to Qinzhou. It was widened and built on the basis of the original road, and it was called Yiyong Post Road. Taking this post road as the line, the west area is actually not actually controlled The barbarian area in the north, while the eastern area is mostly the actual control area.

   This post route is actually a frontier military line, which has been continuously strengthened in recent years.

  Yiyongyi Road has an important point, that is, Yizhou is still an important passage node to the west to enter the middle of Guizhou, and Liuzhou is to the east.

Yizhou is located at a cross-traffic choke point. It is the land road of Yiyongyi Road from north to south, and the Yujiang waterway from east to west. This has made Yongzhou, an outpost of the border town, an unprecedented rise in status in recent years. Qin Lang also specially invited Guangxi Road The capital moved to Yongzhou.

  The large-scale attack by the Liao people this time is just going eastward along the Zuoyou River, and the place they must pass in front of them is the meeting of teachers in Yongzhou.

  The matter of Foshan Smelting and Iron Co., Ltd. cooperation has not been fully discussed, Qin Lang suddenly told everyone the news of Juding's attack.

  The name Juding, in fact, many Lingnan people don’t remember it.

  There are many Man tribes in Zuoxixi, and many of them came out of Juding in those years. For example, many Man tribes of the Nong family were the Nong tribes, one of the nine tribes in Dingding.

  The Liaozi Department has long replaced the name of Juding. The last time I heard about them, or did everyone join forces to go deep into the Liaozi Department and grab a lot of money?

   "How many soldiers can each family send? Report the number."

   "The governors of Zhuzhou in Zuoxixi, hurry home and organize defense with troops and horses. I will come later."

  The thirty-six barbarian king governors of Zuoxixi panicked when they heard this. They came to Guangzhou for such a long meeting, and they didn’t know that such a big event happened at home, and their old lair was about to be taken over.

   Leave quickly one by one.

  Before he left, he still begged Qin Lang to send troops for reinforcements.

  Gaozhou governor and regiment trainer Feng Zhidai was active, and immediately expressed his willingness to bring 5,000 soldiers from all regiments in Gaozhou to train, and he was even willing to bring some children to accompany him.

   "It is enough to select two or three thousand elite warriors."

  Qin Lang didn't ask for more, the more people there are, the greater the logistics pressure will be. Going to the upper reaches of the Zuoxi River to fight, the biggest problem is the problem of food and grass. In the past, when those barbarian kings were called to fight against Nong's house, they always brought their own dry food to fight, and the distance was not too far away, so there was no problem with the logistics of food and grass.

   It is still too far to transfer troops from Guangdong.

  Feng Zhichen, Feng Wanchun, Xian Zhichen, etc. were all willing to actively respond to sending troops. Qin Lang counted the number of soldiers and felt that there were too many soldiers in Guangdong.

   Even Dugu Yanyun, Jia Runfu, and Qin Huan in Fujian will also send troops, plus the navy.

  Qin Lang could only simplify it again and again. Feng Xian, Chen Yangning and other governors of various families brought them, and then asked them to bring the most elite thousand or eight hundred people.

  The three major fleets of the Navy, Qin Lang also divided his troops into three groups, staying in Guangzhou all the way, and going to Yongzhou through the inland waterway of the Xijiang River all the way, and was responsible for transporting some soldiers and luggage from various states to go there.

  The other road followed him by sea, rushed to Qinzhou, and then traveled more than 200 miles by land to meet in Yongzhou.

   "Saburo!"

   Before Ah Huang left, he came to Qin Lang very wretchedly.

   "Actually, I don't think it's all a bad thing that Juding's restoration of the country is coming."

"How to say?"

   "Sanlang, think about it, if they didn't come back to restore the country, the land of Zuoxixi to the west of Yongzhou would basically remain the same, but now that Juding is coming, isn't this an opportunity to intervene in it?"

"If you want me to say, don't send troops too fast on Sanlang's side, prepare slowly, first let Juding severely weaken the Liangxi and Thirty-six Dongman, and when they are disabled and both losers, Sanlang, you will lead the army to kill them." In the past, wouldn't this be the best policy?"

"When the time comes to repel Juding, we can take advantage of the trend to set up military towns in some key places in the Zuoxi River, garrison troops, or simply set up some Zhengzhou. Then we can counterattack Juding, and then we can take advantage of the trend to open another wave Territory, set up a batch of prefectures and counties, Wu'an Prefecture can also take the opportunity to grab another wave westward, and maybe even occupy some territory, don't you think?"

"I also fought against the bureaucrats. No matter how they suddenly unite now, they have been fighting among themselves for hundreds of years. Although they are fierce now, it must be only a momentary anger. This anger will definitely not last. The longer it drags on , the less stamina they have, and even after they win, the easier it is for them to have internal conflicts again."

  Ah Huang is very obscene, he is not so much considering the interests of the imperial court, but rather the best interests of Wu'an Prefecture. Hurriedly saving the left and right Ximan is of little benefit to them. It's better to sit back and watch the tigers fight, and then take action when both sides are hurt. Only then can the benefits be maximized.

"Sanlang, you don't need to be so particular about death or rescue. Let's recruit soldiers and horses normally, collect money and food, and then go to Yongzhou to assemble. It will take time. Before the soldiers and horses and food are ready, we can't easily Waves fight, right?"

  Qin Lang smiled.

   "Old Huang, you have been in Lingnan for a few years, and you are getting more and more wretched!"
