Chapter 336 Awe

Nanzheng land.

The stream is slow and the grass and trees are falling. When the first snow fell, the Yingshan Stream was completely white, and all the animals were silent. Only the soldiers of the Qin Army monitored the movements in the distance from the sentries standing on the commanding heights of the mountain.

A hissing sound.

The crossbow bolt shot out and pierced the ground, stopping dozens of ragged mountain barbarians from moving forward.

"This is Han Yangjun's territory. The former will be punished as a spy. Stop!"

The deep voice resounded, but the answerer was breathless.

"We were originally sheltered by the Zhurong tribe. However, it is a cold winter and there is no food in the tribe. We really have no way out. We have come to seek refuge with Lord Hanyang and ask your Majesty to take you under your wing."

The distant answer made the soldiers at the sentry somewhat suspicious.

"Could it be a scam?"

"We can't make the final decision on such a big matter, so we should report it to the superiors!"

Soon, the news reached the landlord city of Nanzheng, Zhao Shuang, through the Yingshan Stream Military Village level by level.

"Barbarians in the mountains?"

When the messenger brought the news, Zhao Shuang was discussing matters in the territory with a group of subordinates. There were more than a hundred people bustling in the huge palace.

Most of Zhao Shuang's men are blood relatives in Zhaojia Village, and they are people who have passed through Zhao Laosi. Before Zhao Laosi handed over Zhaojiacun to Zhao Shuang, those with outstanding talents had already entered Xianyang as officials. Today, many of them have begun to stand out. Most of Zhao Shuang's subordinates held middle and lower-level official positions in the vassal system to which Lord Hanyang belonged.

There are many of these people, and they are Zhao Shuang's staunchest supporters. They can complete some tactical and local affairs very well, but there are almost none who have the talent to govern a country.

So when they heard the news, they subconsciously began to object.

However, although Zhao Laosi sent away all the people in his clan who were talented in governing the country, the people with other surnames who were attached to Zhaojia Village were still there, and many of them were quite intelligent. Many of them were in favor of accepting these mountain barbarians.

Firstly, Kaiken Land is now in need of manpower; secondly, their food reserves are still rich; thirdly, by accepting these barbarians, they can attack the power of the Zhurong tribe.

A young man talked among the crowd, stated the pros and cons, and analyzed the matter clearly.

Zhao Shuang looked at this person and smiled softly.

"Sima Han, it's up to you to handle this matter."

"My subordinates will definitely live up to their master's trust!"

Zhao Shuang waved his hand and everyone retreated. In the bustling hall, only one person was left in an instant.

Although Bai Lu is a woman, she leads the three thousand Yulin elites around Zhao Shuang and is the main general in the palace of the main city. Without anyone else around, Bai Lu lost all her respect and looked a little casual.

"Sima Han, this guy seems to be full of fighting spirit?"

Zhao Shuang smiled, Sima Han and Bai Lu grew up together and knew each other very well.

"Sima Han is right. If this matter can be done well, it will weaken the strength of the Zhu Rong Department. However, in this way, the Zhu Rong Department will not give up."

Bai Lu's face showed fighting spirit. She twitched her fingers and her knuckles clicked, not looking like a girl at all.

"That's just right. The last time we fought with that Li Mang, we still couldn't decide the winner."

"asshole!"

Mang was furious.

Every winter, when the mountains are closed by heavy snow, the food in the mountains such as berries, wild animals, and raw fish will be greatly reduced. If there is no food storage, this winter will be very difficult.

In the past, large tribes like the Zhurong tribe would do business with merchants in exchange for some grain. However, this year, there was internal turmoil in the Qin State, and a large number of criminals were moved into Shu. These merchants did not have much food in their hands. Coupled with the cold weather this year, even the Zhurong tribe does not have much food reserves, let alone the vassals attached to the Zhurong tribe.

When the first batch of Shanyi entered Han Yangjun's territory and were accepted, many others followed suit. By now, hundreds of vassals under Zhu Rong's control had fled.

Although the number of people was not too large, it was intolerable to Li Mang.

The Zhu Rong tribe controls the vassals by relying on force and prestige. If the defectors cannot be suppressed in time, others will lose their respect for the Zhu Rong tribe.

This is where the falling apart begins.

"Don't blame me for that Qin man's persecution!"

Li Mang keenly sensed the crisis and made a decision immediately.

"Chief, the Qin army has already built a camp in Yingshan Stream. We have no chance of winning if we attack by force."

A cyan giant under Li Mang said. The Zhurong tribe itself has a small number of people and relies on a large number of vassals. In the past, when fighting other large tribes, a large number of vassals would attack first, and then the giants of the Zhurong tribe would deal a fatal blow.

However, this method of warfare has a shortcoming. The morale of the vassals is not high. Once they lose too much, they will collapse on a large scale.

Therefore, if you use this kind of tactics to deal with the Qin army camp in Yingshan Stream, which is like a copper wall and an iron wall, you will definitely lose miserably.

Li Mang smiled, and a light flashed in his eyes.

"How surprised, isn't the Qin army going to accept those people? Then give them some."

"My subordinate understands."

The stars are sinking in the dark night.

Outside the palace, it was chilly.

A shadow shuttled through, and when it was about to approach Zhao Shuang's palace, it was stopped by another shadow.

The two fought, white feathers and black feathers flying. After a brief move, Bai Feng landed on the ground, raised his head, and looked at Mo Ya who was on the eaves. A slight smile appeared on his face under the moonlight.

"I have long heard that you have returned from Dongjun. Over the years, your cultivation has become more and more advanced."

"But your skills are a little slow." Mo Ya smiled, with a hint of joking, "Is it because you have been in the light for a long time and you have relaxed?"

Mo Ya has been hiding in the dark, while Bai Feng has stayed in the Mo family. The two have to face completely different things.

"snort!"

Bai Feng's face was obviously dissatisfied. He held a feather blade in his hand and waved it gently. The feather blade galloped towards Mo Crow.

Mo Ya turned his body slightly and avoided the blow. But Bai Feng's figure arrived almost at the same time as the feather blade, and a quick attack followed.

The two exchanged several moves in the air, and finally both landed on the ground.

A smile appeared on Bai Feng's face.

"how?"

"not bad!"

The age difference between Mo Ya and Bai Feng is not too big, and they have a brotherly relationship.

Over the years, the two have worked under Zhao Shuang, but they rarely meet.

It wasn't until Mo Ya finished handling the matter in Dongjun that he led his men back and became Zhao Shuang's guard leader.

But because of the mission, the two crossed paths several times and did not meet each other.

It wasn't until tonight that the two met again in front of this palace.

But even though they were separated for a long time, this feeling has not faded away.

Mo Crow raised the black feather blade in his hand, which was stained with a trace of white cloth.

Bai Feng glanced at the broken holes on the sleeves of his clothes and frowned slightly.

"Has Bai Feng arrived?"

At this moment, Zhao Shuang's voice came from the palace.

"My lord!"

"come in!"

The lights were bright and the dew was sinking in the cold night. Bai Feng and Mo Ya walked up the steps and saw the young figure faintly hidden in the lights in the palace.

After not seeing each other for a long time, Bai Feng felt that this Lord was becoming more and more unfathomable.
