The Famous Detective of the Red Mansions

Chapter 600: South Zhengzhou

[Six...Six hundred chapters, there is no leader yet? Is this book insulated from the local tyrants? ! 】

Wuxi City is open on three sides, but to the east is a hilly depression filled with dense forests.

The north, south, and west are naturally the focus of the barbarian alliance. The main forces of the Kangxi Man, Daixi Man, Huaxi Man, and Xunxi Man are almost here.

As for the hilly depressions to the east, although it was not conducive to the army's deployment, it was not easy to come out in vain, so it was entrusted to the impaired Tong Ximan.

On the sixth day of December, at the end of Shenshi, Chengdong.

Manmuha, the young head of Duoszhai, clinging to the brass whip that he did not know from the search, guarded the gate of the Chinese army with a gloomy expression. Several times he wanted to use the whip to open the felt curtain, just like that. Regardless of the reckless trespassers entering, after all, he owed a bit of courage.

Suddenly, the heavy felt curtain was lifted from the inside, and then two short statures walked out of the tent.

Manmuha hurriedly lowered his head to hide the resentment on his face.

The two of them didn't even look at him, untied the reins and rode away.

Watching the two men out of the Tong Ximan camp spitefully, Manmuha picked up the felt curtain and rushed in angrily, saying angrily: "Abba! You are now the leader of Tong Ximan anyway, why? Can you let a few Kangxi savage dogs scream around and drink?!"

Sharif, the head of Doszhai, was only in his early thirties. He had been in contact with the Han people outside the mountain in his early years, and his behavior was much more gentle than those who were savage.

However, this is not necessarily a good thing in the barbarian coalition, and it is easy to be regarded as weak and deceptive.

Because the two Kang Xis were so rude, Sharif also had some gloom on his face, but seeing that his son was so irritable, he sat back behind a few cases without a hassle.

"Abba!"

Manmuha became more and more anxious, and opened the felt curtain with his backhand. He pointed to the outside and said: "Look for yourself, what are we like Tong Ximan being bullied? Na Kui Lun clearly meant to treat us Tong Ximan. The warrior of the country, as a lowly slave call!"

After the felt curtain was opened, countless knives and chisels outside suddenly filled the tent with boiling water.

But it turned out that after being arranged in the forest depression in the east of the city, the other tribes gave Tong Ximan all their brains on the errands of rushing to build the ladder and supervising the construction of bumping wood.

The two Kangxi savages just now, who were ordered to come to beg for equipment, even shouted at Sharif, like a slave calling a maidservant.

You know, just a few days ago, Duosizhai had just been elected as the Tongxi barbarian co-master!

The pleasure of climbing to the top hasn't subsided, but how can Manmuha be able to accept the bullying of being slammed on the nose?

Seeing his angry beard trembled, Sharif sighed helplessly and asked, "Then what do you say?"

"of course……"

Manmuha spouted three words first, but then suddenly got stuck. It took a long while before he blushed and squeezed out a sentence: "I listen to Abba!"

Although he is young and vigorous, he is not a fool after all.

Today, among Tong Ximan, the strongest Corrugated Village and the richest Wuerzhai have all suffered annihilation. Although Duosizhai drove the ducks to the shelves and became the co-owner of Tong Ximan, it is still far away. Not as prestigious as Corrugated Village.

If you are also worried about internal troubles, how can you have the capital to fight the other four races?

"listen to me?"

Seeing that his son still had some sense of reason, Sharif felt a little relieved, but thinking of the current situation, he was really unhappy.

Just listen to him shaking his head and sighing: "If someone really listened to me back then, we Tong Ximan would not have come this far."

Manmuha couldn't help but lose his voice when he heard that Abba brought it up again.

When the Five Nations League was negotiating to set off a rebellion, Sharif had fought against it in front of the leader Yahammer.

The reason is that Tong Ximan is too close to the Han people. Once the Han people retaliate, they will definitely bear the brunt.

And once the forces are frustrated, Tong Ximan, who had been the last one among the Wuxi barbarians, will be in a more embarrassing situation.

Originally, Manmuha was a little dismissive of Abba's caution, and felt that with the advantages of the mountain villages and natural dangers, it was enough to make the weak Han officers and soldiers go.

However, the recent fall of Wuerzhai, Wallengzhai, and especially the holy land of Nahran, undoubtedly confirms Abba's original statement.

perhaps……

Tong Ximan really shouldn't have mixed in at the beginning!

The father and the son were speechless, but there was a sudden noisy outside. Manmuha stirred up the felt curtain in dissatisfaction. He was about to vent a few words, but his eyes suddenly condensed. Then he blurted out and exclaimed: "Mutu, how could you? it's here?!"

Mutu? !

Sharif heard his exclamation and couldn't help but jump up and strode outward to meet him.

When I arrived at the door, I saw a sturdy young man who was still childish, rushing towards him in stride, but he was not the second son Mutu who stayed behind in the stockade. Who else could it be?

"Abba, Manmuha!"

Seeing his father and brother greeted him, Na Mutu immediately scratched his head and smiled: "I was so bored in the stockade, I secretly found it without telling my grandmother."

After hearing this, Manmuha couldn't help but scolded him, complaining that he shouldn't be fooling around, making his grandmother worried.

But Sharif knew that his second son looked simple and honest, but he was more mindful than others, and he would not sneak out of the mountain just because he was dull.

So he hurriedly brought Mutu into the big account and asked exactly what happened.

After this question, Mu Tu finally confided the truth.

"Abba!"

I saw him kneeling down with a thump, and said anxiously: "Our village has been broken by the three-eyed monster!"

"what?!"

Although I have guessed that there will probably be no good things, but suddenly I heard that Lao Lao was copied by the army, and Sharif was still a little unacceptable for a while.

He stepped back sullenly, and hurriedly asked, "What the **** is going on? The stockade...Is the stockade like Wuerzhai and Wallengzhai, given by the army..."

Speaking of the back, his face was purple and dark, and he was a little breathless.

"Abba, don't worry!"

Upon seeing this, Mu Tu hurriedly comforted him and said: "Although the stockade was broken by the army, there was not much loss..."

"What nonsense is this?!"

Manmuha said annoyed: "Who knows that the three-eyed demon loves to devour human souls the most. If you don't kill three or five hundred people, how can you give up?!"

Sharif vaguely heard that things seemed to be turning around. He hesitated for a while, and tentatively asked: "Does the officer and army want us to do...help?"

"It's not clear what we want us to do."

Mu Tu shook his head and said: "The three-eyed demon only said that our village has a good feng shui, and he will come and go often in the future. As for whether to clean the inside, it depends on whether you are a good one... "

After a pause, he hurriedly changed his words again: "It depends on your ignorance of current affairs, Abba."

Although he changed his tune in time, how could Sharif fail to guess that the Han general said ‘a good dog’?

But he doesn't care about it now.

The official army clearly wanted to use the future safety of the stockade to force the Duosizhai barbarians and even the entire Tong Ximan to re-stitch.

However, according to the strength demonstrated by the officer army before, Duosizhai might not be able to withstand the attack by the officer army no matter how much the embankment was built.

however……

If you betray the coalition forces at this time, is Duosizhai a dead end?

Instead of this, it would be better to take the initiative to ask for help from Kangximan, lead a part of the soldiers and horses back to aid Duosizhai, and then simply move the family to the vicinity of Kangcheng.

In this way, it can also expose the truth that the three-eyed demon is not in the city, so that the coalition forces have less scruples!

Thinking like this, Mu Tu suddenly said again: "By the way, the three-eyed demon also said that you should think about it, Abba, and don't rush to make up your mind."

Think more?

Is there anything else the army has prepared?

Sharif hesitated for a while, but after all he didn't dare to act rashly, only quietly sent his eyes and ears to probe the surrounding disturbances.

That night.

There were more than a dozen people in Huaxi Man, who fled to the east camp in embarrassment, claiming that the officers and soldiers broke two villages in Huaxi Man in one day and slaughtered nearly a thousand.

The next day, news came that another village in Huaxi Man was broken.

Huaxi was panicked.

On the same day, the coalition forces launched a tentative attack on Wuxi City, but were forced to retreat with firearms.

The twenty-eighth lunar month.

The coalition forces bluffed on the north, south and east, but launched a fierce attack from the west, once occupying the southern section of the city wall, and finally repelled by Lu Jianxing's team.

The twenty-ninth lunar month.

The coalition forces set up a dignified position and began to attack from all sides. The casualties of the officers and soldiers increased sharply, and the people in the city were unstable.

On the same day, the news that the two villages of Daiximan were broken by the official army spread to the coalition forces.

At the same time, news that Tongxi barbarians were serving in the Han officer army gradually spread among the coalition forces, and the spearhead was directed at Dosizhai.

It wasn't until this time that Sharif finally realized that the so-called thinking of the officers and soldiers was actually a deliberate trap.

However, it is too late to regret.

The 30th of the twelfth lunar month is the Han Chinese New Year.

News of the breach of the Xunxi Man Village arrived as scheduled.

Among the coalition forces that have not been harassed by the official army, only the Tongxi Man and Kangxi Man clans remain.

On the same day, the officers and soldiers had visited Duosizhai, but the rumors that Qiu did not commit any crimes clamored.

That night.

The leader of Kangximan, Kuilun, summoned the leaders of the five tribes to discuss, seemingly intending to instigate Tongximan.

Sharif dared not go, but Nai Secret sent his son to spread rumors in the camp, claiming that Kangxi Man was deceived by Tong Ximan, and intended to annex Tong Ximan and drive him into a siege coolie.

Over the past few days, Tong Ximan has been squeezed out. The barbarians in various villages have long been grieving, and this rumor was believed to be true, so the whole family abandoned the camp overnight.

Sharif even sent people to pile up and burn the siege equipment built by the battalion supervisor along the road to prevent the four clans from pursuing soldiers.

The morale of the coalition forces fell drastically.

The first day of the first month of the twelfth year of Guangde.

The coalition forces set off a struggle between the internal and the Anwai. In the end, the leader of the Kangxi Man Kui Lun resisted all the arguments and supervised the coalition forces to continue to attack the city.

On the same day, Xunxi was attacked by the army and two more castles.

The third day of the first month.

Rumors recurred among the coalition forces, saying that Sharif deceived many villages in Huahuaxi and looted the woman's belongings under the pretext of being ordered to return to the division to pursue the army.

On that day, there are many people who run away privately in Huaxi Man.

The coalition forces are in chaos, and there is no more intention to fight.

The fifth day of the first month.

The coalition forces retreated in panic. The officers and soldiers in the city did not dare to pursue it because of the still large numbers of troops. However, they clashed with Tong Ximan many times on the way, and the deaths and injuries on both sides were countless.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Qi Mutuo, the big leader of Huaxi Man, was ambushed by officials and soldiers near his cottage. The mountains and rocks were rolling down, and more than half of his 1,200 people were lost.

Qi Mutuo escaped into the village with his defeated soldiers, and was smashed by the officers and soldiers. The gates were all smashed for a while. There were more than a thousand floating corpses in the upper reaches of Huaxi and the barrier became a lake.

On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, Sharif led the remaining 17 villages of Tong Ximan to jointly surrender to the court.

At the end of the first month, there were Huaxi villages one after another, surrendering to the army.

At the beginning of February, Sun Shaozong formally wrote to the court, stating that there is no need for conquests by an army, and that there are only a thousand people under him, and the original defenders of Wuxi Prefecture will be enough to pacify the barbarians.

In March of the twelfth year of Guangde, the imperial court was changed to Sun Shaozong as the envoy of the Fourth Grade of Zhengzhou, and took charge of the Wuxi pacification.

After Sun Shaozong took office, he immediately collected Tongxi Man and Huaxi Man, who served as the forerunner of the army and gradually invaded the hinterland of the mountain.

The barbarians were forced to turn completely on the defensive, and concentrated their forces on the mountain to resist.

Since then, Sun Shaozong was in Wuxi City, and the officers and soldiers often used barbarians to earn money to open the gates of the village, so that the barbarians were susceptible to each other.

And more isolated barbarians have to surrender to the army and beg for life.

So in the autumn of the twelfth year of Guangde, the strengths of both sides gradually reversed.

In the twelfth year of Guangde, Chongyang was ninety-nine years old.

Recruiting envoy Sun Shaozong convened Nahelan, gathered 13,000 strange servants of barbarians, and supervised them with two thousand officers, and besieged the last fortress of Wuxi barbarians-Kangcheng.

From the end of September, until the 26th of October, Cannes was captured.

In the battle, the barbarians on both sides lost more than ten thousand yuan, and the Wuxi barbarians were almost exhausted.

The commander, Kuilun, wore a crown and took poison to kill himself, and his wife and daughter floated in the chaos.

Afterwards, Sun Shaozong ordered the city of Kang to be burned down, and the fire ignited two days before it went out.

Since then ~lightnovelpub.net~ the Wuxi savage chaos has been roughly flat, and only a few savage savages remain, shrinking in the poor mountains and evil ridges to resist.

In mid-November, Sun Shaozong requested an order to move the barbarians out of the mountains, select their elites to reorganize them on the spot, and send them to the Yunnan-Guizhou border army to serve.

The rest have changed their customs, banned savage language, taught Chinese characters, and changed their names to Han Chinese.

Also, because the barbarians died and injured too much, those who did not die were also sent to Yunnan and Guizhou. Most women in the family clung to the Han people as wives and concubines, and lived together in this way.

In the summer of the thirteenth year of Guangde, although Wuxi did not dare to say Dazhi, the word ‘stable’ was basically the word.

At the end of July in the thirteenth year of Guangde, Sun Shaozong was summoned to resign and return to Beijing. Tens of thousands of people were sent off in the road, among them there were many savages.

Go out of Wuxi City, travel for six or seven miles, collect the eight handles of Wanmin Umbrellas, leave nine pairs of love boots, and go barefoot.

In the following years, there were many people who erected Sanmu Shengshi in Wuxi Prefecture, especially the barbarians. At first, it was only for the heart of Anhan people. Later, they gradually forgot their original intention and believed that it was the reincarnation of a god. .
