Chapter 114 The Grand Plan to Rule the Roost (Second Update)

"Annan?"

Nie Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "What kind of place is this?"

Facing Nie Zheng's question, Jia Xiufang pondered for a moment, and then, he told Nie Zheng some detailed information about "Annan".

Annan, facing the Yuanjiang River across the river, is located on the southwest border of the Song Dynasty. It was originally a remote county on the frontier of the imperial court. There are five cities and 28 counties in it, and it is adjacent to the foreign indigenous tribe "Dayue".

"Dayue" used to be a subordinate vassal department of the Song Dynasty, paying tribute and worshiping every year.

But 20 years ago, the fortunes of the Song Dynasty declined, treacherous officials were in power, and the court was incompetent, which led to continuous internal strife and foreign enemies.

Ever since, Sangkang, the chief of the "Dayue" tribe, took the opportunity to cut off contact with the imperial court, and established the "Dayue Kingdom" on the north bank of the Mekong River, calling himself the "Dayue King".

Due to the fertile land and large population of Songtu Annan County, which is adjacent to him, Sangkang's wolf ambition that he had endured for many years was finally fully revealed.

In the few years since Sangkang established the "Dayue Kingdom", he sent out tribal coalition forces many times to force their way into Annan County, burning, killing, looting, raping and looting the local Han people frantically, doing all sorts of crimes. , is even more hateful than that horse bandit.

This group of Da Yue natives treated the Han people like pigs and dogs. They were cruel and cold-blooded.

Due to the repeated violations by the natives of Dayue, the imperial court ordered Annan County to assemble and recruit [-] soldiers and horses to conquer the bandits of Dayue outsiders.

As a result, the [-] soldiers improvised by the Annan County Mansion were no match for those vicious and cunning Da Yue natives. On the spot, they were killed by the ferocious Da Yue native allied forces, causing countless casualties.In the end, less than [-] remnants of the defeated generals fled back to Annan, and the government and the public were shocked.

After Dayue defeated the [-] soldiers sent by the imperial court to conquer, Sangkang's ambitions exploded unprecedentedly.Because, he suddenly discovered that the seemingly powerful Song Dynasty was so vulnerable.

Just after Sangkang defeated the [-] soldiers and horses in Annan County, within three months, he assembled the twelve tribes of Dayue and personally led [-] elite tribes to sweep across the southern border of the Song Dynasty, massacring countless officials and soldiers of the Song Dynasty. Occupied Annan County, making it a territory under the border of Dai Viet.

After Sangkang captured Annan County, the court was furious and sent troops to attack and crusade many times, but they were defeated by Sangkang every time.

In addition, Sangkang took advantage of the danger of the Yuan River across the river. If the imperial army wanted to conquer Dayue, they had to cross the Yuan River.

However, this group of Dayue tribe natives are not only good at riding and shooting traps, and are brave and good at fighting, but also their water ghost warships are even more powerful in Nanyang, causing Song's fleet to suffer heavy losses.

The imperial army conquered Dayue, and many times they fell under the enemy's conspiracy, because the fleet full of Song troops could not reach the other side at all, and was scuttled and sunk by the enemy's water ghost warship.

After repeated conquests to no avail, the court had to temporarily abandon the crusade against Sangkang.

Because, at the time when Sangkang was disturbing the southern border, the five counties outside the pass of the Great Song Empire and the five surnames in the south of the Five Ridges all supported themselves and rebelled to become kings.In addition, the Xiongnu on the northern prairie repeatedly provoked troubles and wanted to send their troops to invade the south. Suddenly, the wimpy emperor of the Song Dynasty was anxious and had trouble sleeping and eating.

Surrounded by those tigers, wolves and powerful enemies, the imperial court didn't have the time to pay attention to Sang Kang, a little grasshopper. Finally, seeing that Sang Kang had no intention of leading the army across the river, the imperial court gradually gave up on the matter. The recovery of Annan County ended up guarding across the river with Sangkang who occupied Annan County.

However, although the imperial court gave up the recovery of Annan County, it suffered from the people of the Song Dynasty who were ruled by Sangkang.

Millions of Han people, under the tyrannical and bloody rule of the Dai Viet nobles, are like a group of slaves who have been whipped wantonly, living a life that is worse than death day and night.

Hey……

After telling these, Jia Xiufang sighed deeply, her expression seemed a little heavy.

After hearing this, Nie Zheng was also angry at the court's incompetence.At the same time, he was very moved by Jia Xiufang's proposal to capture Annan County.

You must know that Annan County was occupied by foreigners, and the imperial court gave up the conquest of the enemy.

Obviously, Annan County, which is located on the border of the Song Dynasty, is now a piece of land without an owner. Of course, as long as Sangkang and the Dayue natives are driven away, Annan will have no owner.

However, none of these were enough to move Nie Zheng's heart.

What moved Nie Zheng the most was the millions of Han people in Annan County, as well as the vast and boundless fertile land.

It is said that Annan County is located in the south, where the seasons are like spring, the climate is pleasant, and it is rich in fish, rice and grain.

If you really succeeded in occupying Annan County, rescued all the Han people from the hands of the brutal and cold-blooded Dayue natives, and restored their freedom, then the millions of Annan people will definitely be grateful to themselves and thank you! support.

At that time, with millions of people as the foundation, engaged in productive labor, it is estimated that in a few years, he, Nie Zheng, will completely grow and rise.

On that day, there will be a large number of logistics personnel to support the construction of military bases and airports. There is no reason not to do such a good thing that serves multiple purposes.Otherwise, if it continues to nest in the Longhu Mountains, the airport will never be built. First of all, there are not many wide and flat places in the Tiger Ridge area.

At present, the only thing that bothers Nie Zheng is how to drive away those Da Yue natives.

Although he hadn't fought against those ferocious Da Yue natives yet, Nie Zheng felt that the enemy's strength should not be weak. Otherwise, why would the imperial army come back after fighting so many times?

If he really decides to capture Annan, the weapons and weapons in his hands, as well as the tens of millions of funds in the arms commercial street, don't know if they will be enough to consume.

After all, this is a large-scale war of attrition and tough battle, and it is estimated that it will not be completely over in a short time.

Thinking of this, Nie Zheng pondered for a moment, and asked again: "How far is Annan County from here?"

Jia Xiufang calmed down and said, "It's about three thousand miles away."

"so far?"

Nie Zheng frowned, and said: "If we really want to go to Annan County, do we have to take tens of thousands of horses on a long journey for two months? Wouldn't it be very troublesome if we encounter officers and soldiers chasing and blocking us along the way? "

Jia Xiufang lowered her head and thought for a while, then said: "If we follow the Longhu Mountains and go straight down to the south, bypassing the two counties of southern Yunnan and Bashu, we can also reach Yuanjiang. However, the journey will be longer, but we will not encounter officers and soldiers. obstruction."

Hearing this, Nie Zheng said in a deep voice, "In that case, how long will it take to arrive?"

Jia Xiufang replied without thinking, "About four months."

Nie Zheng touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and murmured: "Four months, the time has fully doubled. If this route is safe and unimpeded, it is acceptable, but our food and grass may not be able to sustain it." Such a long time."

Jia Xiufang frowned and said, "Leader, how much food and grass are stored in this tiger village?"

"More than 4 stones."

Nie Zheng replied without thinking, "It's barely enough for the tens of thousands of people in Longhu Mountain to last for about three months."

Hearing this, Jia Xiufang lowered her head and fell into deep thought. Suddenly, he raised his head suddenly, with a strange light in his eyes, and said with a slight smile, "Leader, since there is not enough food, why don't we borrow food from the government of Song Dynasty?"

Nie Zheng was taken aback for a moment, and his reaction was a bit slow, "Borrowing food from the government... how?"

Jia Xiufang picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said confidently, "Leader, have you ever thought about it? Since the Ao Zhan quickly withdrew the troops last time and the Huns were about to invade the south, in such an extraordinary period, all the imperial court's troops will All the energy and strength are put on how to defend against the Huns. If I am not mistaken, at this time, some counties near the Longhu Mountains must be full of elites, and the city defenses are empty. If you lead the army at this time , With the momentum of thunder, all the government grain depots and silver depots in the counties closest to Longhu Mountain were looted, and under your immortal firearms, who can stop them?"

As soon as this remark came out, Nie Zheng's eyes lit up suddenly, and he clapped his hands repeatedly on the spot. "Haha...Xiufang's words are right. Tomorrow, I will gather troops and sweep across the nearby counties and turn it upside down! Loot all the government's grain depots and silver depots, let out a savage breath of the anger I have suffered these days !"
