Chastity Layman

  Chapter 847 The Lost Dog

  Nong Sanniang raised her eyebrows and unsheathed her sword.

   A pair of single phoenix eyes stared at Gaoping Fort for a long time, and finally suppressed the desperate thought of taking this fort in his heart.

   "Retreat, take refuge, detour around Gaoping Fort, cross the river!"

   Some barbarian chieftains feel unwilling.

   "Retire like this?"

  Nong Sanniang turned her head and looked at the Dongzhu, "If Yang Dongzhu can win the Gaoping Fort for us, I will reward you a lot."

  The master surnamed Yang was naturally not that capable, so he could only say embarrassingly, "But our five hundred brothers died in vain like this? At the very least, we have to send someone to take back the corpse, right?"

   "Master Yang Dong will work hard to bring back the brothers who died in the war!" Nong Sanniang said immediately.

  Yang's complexion changed several times, but in the end he had no choice but to think to himself that this bad luck should not have happened. I had no choice but to bite the bullet and say a few words on the occasion.

When I got to the front of my team, when I said that I was going to Gaoping Fort to collect the corpses, those boys and girls shook their heads like a drum. Are you still willing to bump into it?

   "Look for a piece of white silk to hang on the flagpole."

  Lord Yang Dong cautiously led his men and horses and slowly moved closer to the fort. Just in case, he purposely raised a few more white flags and held them high.

   Three hundred steps away.

   Lord Yang Dong shouted loudly, "Brothers in the city, let's take our people away!"

  The city was completely silent.

  Master Yang Dong hesitated, and finally gritted his teeth, "Go forward to a group of people, leave all your weapons behind, be careful."

  The group of people who were targeted had a tragic face, but happily left all their weapons and soldiers on the ground, and deliberately moved their weapons in a big way, so that they could be seen clearly from the top of the city.

   Then they held up white flags, and even raised their hands above their heads, indicating that they were only here to collect the corpse.

   One step, one move, three steps, one turn.

  Finally within 200 paces, there were corpses everywhere, a mess, the 500 men pretended to be terror, and many of them were shot directly into hedgehogs.

Sudden.

   There was a thunderbolt.

  Seven iron crossbow arrows rushed in, killing more than a dozen people in an instant.

  The big crossbow even shot through several people.

  The master who was preparing to collect the corpse was so frightened that he turned around and ran away.

   At this time, there was a loud shout from the top of the city.

"It's okay to collect the corpses, but we must first get our consent. You can honestly cut off the heads of these thieves, stick them up with pickets, and take the corpses back. But all the weapons and armor, as well as the ones we shot The arrows and crossbows have to be packed and sent to the castle..."

  Such arrogant and domineering words made Yang's face blush.

   In the back, Mrs. Nong San also had a pale face, and her chest heaved and fluctuated in anger.

  Many barbarian chieftains couldn't control their emotions for a while, and drew their swords and yelled at the castle.

  Long time.

  Nong Sanniang turned her head and left.

   A group of barbarian chieftains looked at each other.

   "King?"

   "Don't you feel ashamed enough? Let's go!"

   Someone asked, what about those corpses?

"Don't you really want to cut off the heads of your own brothers for the Qin army in Gaoping Fort, and then give them one by one to stick on the roadside stakes under the castle, and wipe the brothers' armor for them? When we went to the city, pulled out the arrows and crossbows they used to kill us from the flesh and blood of the corpses, and then returned them?"

"Walk!"

  Nong Sanniang became more and more angry, so she could only stop here.

   It's already shameful enough, if you really did this at the request of the Qin family, it would be a great shame.

  Five hundred corpses are left alone.

  It doesn't matter if you are humiliated.

   Withdraw.

   Withdraw now, immediately.

  Nong Sanniang has made up her mind, the gentleman will take revenge, ten years will not be too late, sooner or later he will come back, this time he admits it.

  Maybe Nong Sanniang’s prestige is high enough, or maybe Gaopingbao’s crossbows are too strong. With an order from the army of 100,000 barbarians, Qi Qi turned around under the small Gaopingbao.

   Withdrew for ten miles one after another, then crossed the river south, abandoned the flat road, and walked on the small road in the field, walking around Gaoping Fort.

   Riverside.

  Nong Sanniang and Fusan personally led elite troops to garrison the river bank to prevent Gaoping Fort from attacking, or Qin Lang's pursuers to kill them, covering hundreds of thousands of men, women and children to cross the river one by one.

  In order to cross the river as soon as possible, they cut down trees and built pontoon bridges, but there were too many people and the speed of crossing the river was slow.

  After coming from Gaopingbao, Nong Sanniang remained silent.

  The entire barbarian army was silent from top to bottom.

   Morale dropped to freezing point.

  On the ridge beside the paddy field by the river, the burly Fusan took off his armor, only wearing a plain robe, even a pair of bare feet, and hanged a horse with only his buttocks.

   "A small Gaoping Fortress is so powerful, it's unexpected."

  Miss Nong San looked at the lush rice fields in front of her, "We have to build a few more pontoon bridges to get people across as soon as possible. I guess the person surnamed Qin should be here soon."

  Fusan pulled out a rice bud, pinched off the tip of the leaf, and then threw it into the air. Immediately, the rice bud flew into the sky like an arrow, and then fell heavily again.

"Sanniang, don't you ever think that even if you cross the river, it may not be safe? My son told me that although Gaopingbao also has soldiers, horses, bows and crossbows, they are by no means so many and so strong. Moreover, you have never After thinking about it seriously, where did Wen Mendong's ambush come from?"

  Nong Sanniang bent down, sat directly on the ridge of the field, took off her shoes, and washed her feet in the ditch.

   Those long feet are very delicate, Fusan stared at them.

  Nong Sanniang didn't care, the guards of the two stood far away.

  While washing her feet, she replied, "Of course I thought about it, and I know what you're going to say, but I don't need to yell around if I know some things."

   Fusan said helplessly, "But are we just deceiving ourselves?"

"Then do you have any better ideas? Even if Judingxidong is attacked by the Tang army in Jiaozhou, we have no choice now. We will take the 100,000 people back and take the village back from those Tang people." gone."

   "No chance!"

   Fusan sighed.

"Even so, you have to try. Even if you will inevitably lose in the end, you have to fight before you are reconciled. Although I, Nong Sanniang, is a woman, I am not willing to kneel down and beg for surrender, and then be betrayed by those Tang people Become a slave, become someone else's pet."

   "Are you willing to support the three dignified Zuoxi barbarian kings?"

Fu San laughed at himself and said, "There is no Zuoxi barbarian king. In fact, if you have been to the Central Plains, Chang'an, and Luoyang, you will understand that in today's world, the Central Plains Great Tang is worthy of being the leader of the world, the king of the Great Tang's national strength. Strong, far surpassing the Great Sui Dynasty of the previous dynasty. We, border savages, should not act recklessly."

   "Why, do you regret it?"

"Of course I regret it, but now is not the time to say these things. I just want to remind you that if we continue on this path to the dark, the end will never be good, and it may even be tragic. I am not afraid of death, I just hope you Can calm down, think about it calmly, consider the 100,000 people here, as well as the countless people in Juding and Zuoxi thousands of miles away, are they going to follow us because of our own thoughts? Going to die, will you be reduced to slavery?"

  Nong Sanniang said disdainfully, "Do you want to give birth on your knees?"

   "If you can live, who wants to die? Is there nothing good in this world that you can miss? Are ethnic groups, wives, children, even parents and brothers, etc. ignored?"

Nong Sanniang asked, "We used to live well, but those Tang people didn't let us live well. We have lived here for generations, and we are the natural masters of this place. But when they came, they advertised that they are the masters of the world. Underneath, is it the land of the king, the guest of the land, or the subject of the king, in a word, our land has become theirs, and even we have become their subjects, we have to pay taxes to them, and we have to follow their rules and laws Alive, even they want us to learn their writing and language, with their currency..."

Fu San asked back, "This is the trend of the times, and no one can escape. Your Juding claims to have a history of thousands of years, and we Zuoxi Man also belong to the Baiyue clan. Don't you have a history of thousands of years? But you should also know, There were more than a hundred clans in Baiyue back then, but how many are still alive and well alive today?"

"Either they have been moving southward, or they have integrated into the Han people long ago, and the remaining tribes such as Liao are still struggling, but this is only survived by respecting the Central Plains court and practicing Zhengshuo. If you want to stand up straight Rod, even if you want to revive the Gouting Kingdom, that's just a dream."

"Actually, Nong Tianfu and I drank wine a few times back then. He also talked to me about his dream of restoring the country. He wanted to unite with the various ministries of Juding to restore the country, and even unite with the descendants of Lingnan and Nanzhong Baiyue in the future. But he himself knows that this is just an unattainable dream, and it is impossible to realize it, why are you still not sober than him?"

  Nong Sanniang blushed and asked angrily.

   "I forbid you to say that about him, he is a great man."

"Nong Tianfu is a good man, enough for a man, but he is by no means a great man. He has ambitions, but his ambitions are out of date. Although his ambitions have brought the Juding tribes together again, it is a disaster. At the beginning, you have to admit. If there is no Nong Tianfu, you Juding tribes may continue to coax in the mountains and forests, but there is also an advantage, that is, you will continue to fear the Central Plains, and you will surrender to them. When Jiaozhou University When the Governor's Mansion is going to summon you, you will go to see them obediently, and your ministries will become the Tang Dynasty's Jilin Prefecture, and you Dongzhu will become governors or county magistrates, just like us in the past. Tang knelt down, but we will be safe, the days are like water, flowing peacefully, until hundreds of years later, this Great Tang perishes and is replaced by another powerful Central Plains dynasty, we continue to surrender, or until one day, the power of the Central Plains is strong enough , and finally assimilated us..."

   Fu Mitsukoshi became more excited when he said that.

He was forced to betray Datang, for the sake of his clan, for his wife and children, and for the ambition that had been suppressed in his heart, but now, the reality ruthlessly crushed his ambition. Now he is afraid and regrets it I was thinking about how to keep it safe.

  Even if it can only be preserved a little.

   "Wake up, I will help San, the barbarian king of Zuoxi, escape from Zuoxi like a dog in mourning, and you, the queen of Juding, now your lair has also been breached by the Jiaozhou army, and you are also homeless."

   "We have all become bereaved dogs. We can no longer lead these 100,000 people to wander in foreign lands as lonely ghosts, right?"
