Turbulent Times Chapter 1697: Nanzhao Six Towns and Luo Cheng
On the newly repaired official road leading to the depths of the Six Clans of Nanzhao, among a caravan, Xiao Yu was sitting in a carriage, frowning, with a dignified expression, as if worried about something .
"I heard that Wang Junlin sent Yuchi Jingde to kill the six tribes of Nanzhao very seriously. Even if the Da'an Kingdom built the six towns of Nanzhao to forcefully gather all the people of the Nanzhao tribe, no matter what method they used, it would be short-lived. It should be difficult to eliminate Nanzhao people's hatred for Da'an within a short period of time!" Xiao Yu muttered to himself.
"Although the forcible relocation of the Shengzhao clansmen to the six towns is not conducive to my concealment, but the gathering of so many Shengzhao clansmen is also convenient for me to cultivate power and develop manpower."
"So, there is still a lot to do in this trip."
Thinking of this, Xiao Yu let out a long breath, with a smug look on his face.
After these days of judgment, Xiao Yu believes that although the trip is not easy, he can still make things happen in the end.
At this time, Xiao Yu saw on the country road in front of him, against the breeze, a group of yellow cattle were slowly eating the aquatic plants by the small river, and there were a few whips waving non-stop beside them.
It is a group of Nanzhao cardamom girls who are waving whips. They seem to be herding cattle, and each girl happens to be herding a cow.
However, Xiao Yu noticed that these Nanzhao girls were obviously out to herd cattle, but they were all dressed up very beautifully, clearly in costumes.
Xiao Yu once visited the Nanzhao tribe when she was young, and knew that this was the dress that young Nanzhao women would wear on blind dates.
At this time, a young girl who listened behind pointed at her stupid cow and shouted: "You stupid cow, if you don't leave, I will cut you up with a knife and eat you!"
There was also a young girl who was at the back shouting: "Silly cow, hurry up, if I get caught by A Lang, I will kill you and eat meat."
…
"Who do these girls seem to be waiting for?" Xiao Yu was thoughtful.
At this moment, a subordinate of Xiao Yu's caravan came down to report that a caravan was coming from behind.
Xiao Yu turned his head and looked, there were six carriages behind, and each carriage had more than a dozen guards on tall horses.
"The guards should be officials..." Xiao Yu frowned, "Why do these people appear here in groups?"
"By the way, those Nanzhao girls are waiting for these official convoys, are there some young masters in the carriage?"
"But why didn't the people from the Dark Eagle Guard send this urgent news to the old man in advance?" Xiao Yu's face was a little ugly.
But as soon as he finished speaking, a young man in the caravan he was in hurried forward and said in a low voice: "Master, I just got the news that the six young men in the caravan behind are the Nanzhao six men selected by Da'an Kingdom. The chief officials of the town, these girls were arranged by someone to have a blind date with these six chief officials, in an attempt to ease the hatred between Da'an Kingdom and Nanzhao people through the purpose of marriage, and stabilize Da'an Kingdom's rule over those Shengzhao people."
"Damn it, why did you send such important news now?" Xiao Yu was extremely annoyed, if he had known about this earlier, he could have resorted to some means to sabotage it.
The contact person of the Tang State Intelligence Organization Dark Eagle Guard quickly laughed and said: "Master, the spies of the Da'an State Security Bureau have been investigating closely recently, and our people dare not act recklessly, so the news is a little slow in sending it. It will be."
Xiao Yu secretly sighed, knowing
This is not the time to say these words, wave your hand to let the contact person back down, lest they mutter here and attract the attention of the caring people in the convoy behind.
But the contact person did not leave immediately, but said in a low voice: "Master, it is too late to destroy this matter, just send a master to lurk among the aquatic plants nearby, and wait for the six officials sent by the court of Da'an Kingdom to meet with you." When these Nanzhao girls met, they shot someone to death with cold arrows, no matter whether it was a Nanzhao girl or a person from Da’an, they could destroy their marriage goals.”
Xiao Yu immediately scolded: "Idiot, they appeared in front of us by such a coincidence, are you sure this is not a trap? What if the other party is waiting for us to destroy, and then catch the person who destroys, and then follow the clues Catch us all..."
When the contact person heard the words, he was sweating profusely, his face was slightly pale, and his face was embarrassing, and he didn't dare to say any more.
At that moment, Xiao Yu gave an order: "Order, the caravan will continue to move forward, don't stop there, don't have any abnormal reactions, and leave here at a normal speed."
……
……
It didn't take long before the convoy was close to the group of girls driving the cows. The girls had made various preparations to meet the young officials of the Da'an Kingdom in the carriage according to the instructions of the elders of the clan.
Although the girls from the Shengzhao tribe are bold and aggressive, they each drove a cow over to cover it up, pretending that they met these six young officials by chance, but it took a lot of thinking and thought about how to run into the girls in the middle of it. Some tricks.
It's just that, before they could implement this plan, the chance meeting had not been successful, and the girls hadn't seen each other yet. Somehow, the bulls of the girls went crazy. I can't hold it back either.
I saw that the more than twenty cows turned into mad cows, and slammed into the convoy with all their strength.
The girls' blind date turned into an attack, their faces turned pale with fright, and they all screamed again and again.
Fortunately, the guards around the carriages were all elite fighters. They reacted immediately and rushed over with their horses. After a while of yelling, they hacked all the mad cows to death.
Ox blood was sprinkled all over the road, and the smell of blood filled the sky. The girls were also terrified, but they had forgotten about the blind date, and they knelt on the side of the road, their little faces full of panic and uneasiness.
Xiao Yu's caravan, who had gone far ahead, heard the movement here, Xiao Yu turned his head and took a look, his face suddenly changed.
Although Xiao Yu didn't quite understand why the cows in the back suddenly went crazy and ran into the officials of Da'an Kingdom, he vaguely felt that this matter was not simple, thinking that if he dared to send people to do things just now, it would really be like him before. Tell the liaison officer, expose it in advance, and the game is over in advance.
The six young officials looked at the portraits all the way in the carriage and took a closer look, making sure to remember the face of the girl who was about to be selected in a while, and then got down from the carriage with a kind face, each The girl who had been ordered in advance "selected" and stepped forward to help her up.
Then, he comforted the girls next to him and asked them to get up, and finally said loudly: "Girls, don't be afraid, this is because some thieves have tampered with these cows, trying to arouse our anger, and then kill you , thus destroying the relationship between the imperial court and the Nanzhao family.”
When the girls heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, they hated the thief who had secretly tampered with it.
Next, the six young officials invited the Nanzhao girls they selected to get into their carriages, took the same carriage, and continued to the six towns of Nanzhao.
The six Nanzhao girls who were selected did not have the shyness and awkwardness of the Han girls in this situation. They just blushed and did not hide the joy in their hearts. His own Alang got into the other party's carriage.
The Nanzhao girls who were not selected suddenly looked regretful and envious, and some of them even had reddened eyes from grievances, and secretly shed tears.
………
………
The six towns of Nanzhao were all built on both sides of a small river, and they were built on the basis of several original Nanzhao villages.
Xiao Yu and his caravan drove along the official road on the north side of the river bank. Xiao Yu looked at the large new fields that had just been burnt out and were waiting for the next spring to be deeply plowed. Sighing, he looked to the south of Xiaohe River again, and he could vaguely see a large area of houses, which was the nearest Nanzhao town.
Looking at the largest town among the six towns, Xiao Yu ordered: "Our caravan is a caravan under the imperial merchants of the Da'an Kingdom. Luo Cheng sent a request to see the post, it is estimated that Luo Cheng will not meet, but our gift will be delivered."
A middle-aged man with the appearance of a businessman next to him agreed, and hurried to order.
That's right, the court of Da'an Kingdom built six big towns, and forcibly moved more than 60,000 Shengzhao people who had the most hidden dangers of the Nanzhao people from the mountains, and gathered them in these six big towns.
When appointing the chiefs of the six towns at that time, Wang Junlin suddenly named Luo Yi's eldest son Luo Yi, the chief of Youzhou, as one of the candidates.
Then several candidates were interviewed by the two prime ministers one after another. Finally, Wang Junlin made a decision and directly sent Luo Cheng to serve as the chief of the six towns, and directly transferred from the Youzhou Legion, which had never participated in the battle of Liang Guo from the beginning to the end. Ten thousand people were stationed with Luo Cheng in the six towns of Nanzhao.
Furthermore, Luo Cheng is not only in charge of military affairs, but also civil affairs.
The largest of the six towns is called Lanzhao Town. In the center of the town is a rather large mansion. At the gate of the mansion are eight soldiers from the Youzhou Legion.
This house is exactly the mansion of Luo Cheng, the head of the six towns.
And these eight guards are not ordinary soldiers, they are facades specially selected by Luo Cheng.
Luo Cheng kept in mind what His Majesty the Emperor said before coming here, "Treatment of the Shengzhao clan requires kindness and power to achieve success."
These eight soldiers are the epitome of what Luo Cheng used to intimidate the students of the Six Towns.
The strength of each of these eight soldiers has not only reached the foundation-building stage, but the most important thing is that they are all fighters who have been killed from the mountain of corpses and blood. The Nanzhao people who passed by on the road left a deep impression.
At this time, six young officials sent from Yangzhou came to the gate of the general manager's mansion. You can also keep your face unchanged.
Luo Cheng, who was only in his early twenties, didn't procrastinate at all, and soon walked out from the depths of the mansion in person, with a smile on his face, he directly greeted him out of the mansion.
"The next official, Wang Lixin, pays homage to the Chief Manager!"
"The next official, Zhang Lidao, pays homage to the general manager!"
