I’m The King Chapter 341: : Digging deep, accumulating grain

A loud rooster sang loudly, startled the darkness covering the world, and a bright light appeared in the distant sky, falling on the top of Jishi Mountain. In an instant, the light was like flowing water, flowing from top to bottom. Mercury leaking to the ground usually dyes the entire Jishi Mountain white, and then a round of scorching sun leaps from the bright white place, shining golden light on the Jishi Mountain. The mountains, rocks, trees, and houses are all inlaid with a gold border.

Rumbling war drums and loud horns came from the bottom of the mountain, waking up the Gongsun tribe on the mountain. Ah Man rushed out of the house. He barely slept last night. Squinting over, there was movement outside.

Aman's wife, Dexiang, had already stood outside, looking down the mountain with a worried face. Behind them, more and more members of the Gongsun tribe gathered behind them, looking down the mountain, the color of fear grew stronger and stronger.

The Fufeng cavalry in blue uniforms galloped out of the camp on their horses, forming two rows and staggering back and forth, their sharp sabers raised high, reflecting the sun and shining brightly. Behind the cavalry, line after line of infantry with spears and knives on their backs, also dressed in green clothes and leggings, came out in a row, without the slightest disorder, and in a blink of an eye, they formed a phalanx of a hundred people. In the gap between the phalanxes, more green-clothed soldiers pushed a platform crossbow between the infantry and the cavalry. The crossbow was raised, and the thick crossbow was aimed at the mountain.

The infantry formed in formation, while the cavalry spread out to the left and right.

Ah Man's face was pale, his hands were trembling slightly, behind him, the sound of chattering teeth could be heard.

"Patriarch, what are they doing?" Sima Yi asked, pointing to the foot of the mountain.

Following his gaze, Ah Man saw several blue-clothed soldiers walking towards the front of the army formation carrying a pole. A hole was dug on the spot, and the pole was erected. The sun shines from behind, and the long reflection of the pole is reflected on the ground.

Aman turned around and walked into the house. This pole was used by the Fufeng Army to time the noon. That's the limit.

"Aman, we have to make a choice!" Dexiang looked at Aman and said, "They are not joking, they will definitely launch an attack at noon. The conditions are too good. If the other party chooses to take root here, they will definitely not let it go."

Aman sighed and looked at Dexiang, "I failed the old patriarch's wish, and the Gongsun tribe will die in my hands."

Dexiang shook his head, "The times are the same. In the current situation on the grassland, even if Dad is alive, there is nothing that can be done. In fact, the Gongsun clan has been in your hands for many years, and it has been safe and sound for many years. It's an amazing achievement."

Aman was downcast, he was not a nobleman of the Gongsun clan. He was an outsider. After joining the Gongsun clan, he was favored by the old patriarch because of his bravery and skill in fighting. He married his only daughter, Gongsun Dexiang. Later, the old patriarch passed away. With the strong support of Gongsun Dexiang, Ah Man As an outsider, he won the position of patriarch of the Gongsun clan in one fell swoop. For many years, the Gongsun clan has not developed much under his leadership. But it has also survived smoothly on the grassland where the weak eat the strong, which is indeed a remarkable achievement.

"Patriarch!" Sima Yi rushed in again in a panic. In the past two days, Gongsun Yi has become an annoying crow whenever he appears in front of Ah Man. There is never good news.

"What happened again?"

"Patriarch, the slaves evacuated to the mountain are a little unstable, and they are starting to stir up!" Sima Yi said in a panic. The Gongsun clan has either plundered or bought no less than 2,000 slaves in the Central Plains, and among them, young and strong men Almost half of them are accounted for. If the bullets can't suppress them, there will be a big mess.

Aman and Dexiang suddenly changed their expressions, "How are you doing now?"

"Brother Qiang took people to suppress it. It was barely suppressed for the time being, but with the situation at the foot of the mountain, I'm afraid that these slaves will stir up trouble again in a short time."

Dexiang stood up, "A decision has to be made, Ah Man, if you drag on, once the slaves riot, the Fufeng Army at the bottom of the mountain will no longer care about the noon, and they will definitely take advantage of the situation and come up the mountain. At that time, we can There will be nothing left. Even our own lives will be in danger."

"Gongsun Yi, go down the mountain again and tell the Fufeng Army, we, we surrendered!" Ah Man sat down dejectedly.

"No, I'll go!" Dexiang shook his head, "Ah Yi is young, once he goes to the camp of the other party, if he eats up the other party, maybe something else will happen. I'll go and talk to them in person and see if it works You can't fight for more benefits for our Gongsun clan."

"No, no, you can't go, if you go, the Fufeng Army will detain you, then we won't even have the capital to negotiate." Ah Man shook his head repeatedly. "Let Ah Yi go!"

Dexiang smiled, "At this moment, people are killed by knives, and I am fish. I am a woman, but it is better. The Fufeng Army is always Dayan's regular army. They will not even want this face. Mine. Don't worry, Ah Man, you must stabilize the situation when you are on the mountain, especially the slaves. You must not let them riot, but you must not kill people, do you understand what I mean?"

"I know!" Ah Man said, "Go, is there really no danger?"

"Is there a safe place up and down the mountain?" Dexiang stood up, straightened his hair, and said to Gongsun Yi, "Ah Yi, you lead the way. I'll go down the mountain to talk with the general of the Fufeng Army." /

Sun Xiao didn't expect that it was not the patriarch of the Gongsun clan, Ah Man, but a woman who was waiting. It's just a stern look, without any momentum, but Sun Xiao still let Hutou and Hengdao prepare well. These two guys are covered with scars all over their faces. They are big and fierce. There is nothing better than to be scary.

However, in the face of a woman, using such a method will inevitably be a bit low-key, and it will be impossible to do so. Of course, a woman like He Lanyan is an exception. This is a woman who looks gentle on the outside and wild on the inside.

"Turned into a barbarian, Gongsun Dexiang of the Gongsun clan, came here to ask the Heavenly Army to surrender. There is nothing else to ask, but the general will see that my Gongsun tribe is the one who asked to surrender on its own initiative, and don't hurt anyone in my tribe. " Gongsun Dexiang knelt down in front of Sun Xiao very meekly, lowered his head, his voice carried a little sorrow and unwillingness.

"Gongsun Dexiang?" Sun Xiao murmured in a low voice, looking at He Lanyan involuntarily. He Lanyan shook her head at him. On the grassland, there are countless small tribes like the Gongsun family. She didn't even know The inside story of this.

Gongsun Dexiang raised his head, "Ahman is a family member of my Gongsun family. Although he is the head of the clan, he is actually only in charge of the war affairs within the clan. I am in charge of other matters."

Sun Xiao let out a cry, and everyone in the tent suddenly realized that he had made a mistake and thought that Ah Man was the official patriarch of the Gongsun clan. Be the family.

Looking at Gongsun Dexiang in front of him, Sun Xiao suddenly remembered Gao Yuan's long talk that night before he left. At that time, Jiang Jiaquan, the new chief historian of Zhengdong Mansion, was present at the time. The big article made him dizzy and he couldn't understand it, but General Gao explained it clearly in a few words.

Dig deep, accumulate food widely, work quietly, don't make any noise.

To put it bluntly, Sun Xiao's army came out to find a way out for the Gaoyuan Zhengdong army, and buried an ambush. It's best not to let other forces find out their details prematurely, and the deeper they bury the better. But how can I bury myself without letting others know about it? Moreover, the task Gao Yuan entrusted to him is to develop as much strength as possible. Now, including myself and the civilian husbands who came with the team, there are only more than two thousand people. It is inconspicuous on the grassland, but once the power is strong, it is okay to keep others from paying attention, right?

Looking at Gongsun Dexiang in front of him, a bold idea suddenly appeared in Sun Xiao's mind. Isn't this an excellent shield in front of him?

In the blink of an eye, countless thoughts have been turning in my mind. He laughed and stood up, walked in front of Gongsun Dexiang, and gave a little help with his hands, "Madam, please stand up, I think there is one thing, Madam made a mistake, you are not surrendering, but joining, forming an alliance with us, Since it is an alliance, then we are naturally friends, since we are friends, how can we touch the grass and trees of the Gongsun family, let alone those who hurt the Gongsun family?"

As soon as this remark came out, Gongsun Dexiang raised his head in astonishment, and looked at Sun Xiao~IndoMTL.com~ wondering what kind of medicine he sold in his gourd, and on the other side, He Lanyan and the foot soldiers were also inexplicably staring at him. Looking at Sun Xiao, Sun Xiao gave the two of them a wink, the two were puzzled, and at this moment they could only be bored in their hearts.

"Alliance?" Gongsun Dexiang repeated aloud.

"That's right, form an alliance!" Sun Xiao said with an emphasis. "Of course, many of the details need to be discussed by both of us, but Madam, don't worry, the personal safety and property safety of everyone in the Gongsun clan are absolutely safe, and we will definitely not touch anything."

"However, the slaves captured by your clan must be handed over to us. No slaves are allowed in the Fufeng Army!" The infantry on one side interjected. These slaves are the natural source of soldiers in the Fufeng Army, and many of the slaves among the Xiongnu tribes are proficient in riding skills, and they can strengthen the cavalry with a little training.

"What the general said is true?" Gongsun Dexiang was both surprised and delighted.

"Of course, this Jishi Mountain still belongs to your Gongsun family." Sun Xiao said with a smile on his face. "Of course, we have to plan carefully for the details. If Madam is willing, I will go back to the mountain to discuss with the chief of the Aman. If you all agree, we can sit down and talk about these details. .”
