Chapter 533: The Song army suddenly arrived, the main force
"Chief of the Guwu Clan!"
But this person spoke again, "The Song army was not good at all. The Shiquan army swept through and was worse than the Tubo people. In Mianzhou, even the prefect of Mianzhou was imprisoned.
If the benevolent and righteous army of the imperial court comes, we will naturally sweep the couch to welcome them.
However, these people obviously do not regard us local people as their own, so why should we welcome them?
This is not only bad for us, but also bad for the prefect."
This man's words made Gu Wu frown. He turned to Ye Mao and said, "Sir, I have heard about this, as the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire.
The head coach of the Song Army who came this time was obviously not a good person.
Simply put, we have no Tibetan attack in Maozhou for the time being, and there is no need for the Song army to come.
Why don't you report it to the imperial court and say that we in Maozhou can keep the revenue ourselves?
After all, we are the people of the Song Dynasty, and we will accept it no matter what, but if it harms you, it will be our fault."
Ye Mao on the side had an even bigger smile on his face.
The so-called army is unknown! The reason why these people put on a not-so-good show for themselves was to gain status in the great cause, so that the Song army would be wary and not dare to enter Maozhou without authorization.
However, these people made a wrong calculation! Whether the memorial they submitted to the imperial court will reach His Majesty is unknown.
Even if it does arrive, the leader this time may not care what he says.
Thinking about the letter that his old friend secretly sent to him not long ago, Ye Mao felt a little hot in his heart.
No one wants to come to this place in Maozhou.
Therefore, he has stayed in Maozhou for six years, and even the fixed three-year rotation has deliberately ignored him.
And during these six years, he also served as a puppet for six years.
Now, I'm afraid my chance has come!
With that person's wisdom, I am afraid that he has already discovered that these tribes are united with the Tubo people. If so, how can the Qiang people continue to occupy Maozhou safely and unharmed?
Looking out of the corner of his eyes, he saw that Gu Wu didn't pay attention to what he meant! Also, after being a puppet for six years, how could these people put themselves in their eyes?
However, have you forgotten! I am also a man who has read history books. Do you really think that I will only laugh with you in the past six years and be at your mercy?
"That's fine. Later, I will report to the court and say that there are no Tubo invaders in Maozhou, and there is no need for a large army to come to help for the time being."
Ye Mao said lightly.
There was a bit of sarcasm on Gu Wu's face. Isn't the magistrate a puppet in his own hands?
This Maozhou is the Maozhou of the Qiang people, not the Maozhou of the Song Dynasty!
"It's not good, patriarch, it's not good!"
A Qiang tribesman broke into the meeting hall in panic!
"presumptuous!"
Guwu's face turned cold, "Now it is a matter of discussion within the clan, how can you trespass on it without permission?"
Get out, and I will punish you severely after this!"
The Qiang man not only did not retreat, but instead took a few steps forward and said to Guwu in a hurry, "Master Patriarch! I just got the news that all 90,000 soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty have entered Maozhou and are heading towards Wenshan.
.
It is estimated that they will arrive in another five or six days."
"What!"
Guwu's expression tightened, and he had no time to continue blaming this person, "Who sent the news, and where are the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty now?
How is this possible with an army of 90,000?"
"It's the news from Lord Falcon. It is said that the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty have entered our Maozhou from the direction of Shiquan Army! This is a secret report from Lord Falcon!"
The man took out a small note and handed it to Guwu.
After listening to this person's words, Gu Wu's face became more solemn.
If the news comes from other people, it may be false.
However, this news from the Falcon is absolutely not false at all.
Because this Falcon is his eldest son. Although there is no such thing as a heir apparent among the Qiang people, this Falcon has been trained by Guwu since he was a child. Now, he has been able to take on his own role and is recognized by almost everyone as the next leader of the Qiang clan.
Not long ago, as the reinforcements of the Song Dynasty entered Chengdu Fulu Road, the Falcons took the initiative to request to go to the border area with the Shiquan Army. The purpose was to monitor the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty and prevent the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty from quietly entering Maozhou.
.
Gu Wu thought quickly for a moment, then turned to Ye Mao and said, "Sir, these soldiers from the Song Dynasty have come uninvited and may disturb the peace of Maozhou.
How about the adults go and dissuade them from going back?
If there are other matters that require our cooperation, I will naturally not dare to violate them."
After much deliberation, Guwu decided to let Ye Mao go, at least to delay some time for himself and others.
It is true that the Qiang people are powerful, but if they really faced off against the Song Dynasty's nearly 100,000 troops, the outcome would be unpredictable.
Moreover, even if they really defeated the Song Dynasty soldiers, what would be the point?
When the time comes, both sides will suffer losses, and there will be no place for the Qiang people in Chengdu Prefecture. No matter other tribes or other forces, the Qiang people will not be allowed to continue to live freely.
"This..." Ye Mao hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "As an old parent in Maozhou, this is what I should do.
However, the Guwu Clan Chief still needs to send some more strong men to escort me."
"It's natural!"
Even if Gu Wudang agreed, "Natu, you lead five hundred men to personally protect the safety of the prefect. Even if you are all dead, you are not allowed to let the prefect be in danger."
"Sir, you think this matter is urgent, why not go directly?
I will prepare the rest immediately."
Guwu said again.
Ye Mao nodded, "Okay!"
Half an hour later, hundreds of Qiang guards escorted a carriage and hurriedly left Wenshan and headed eastward.
The border between Maozhou and Shiquan Army is full of barren mountains. Not to mention Song people, even tribes rarely survive here! There are no cities for hundreds of miles here, and there are few people. However, there is one
A large army is crossing the border between the two states in a mighty manner, and continues to think about approaching the depths of Maozhou.
This large army is naturally the Song soldiers led by Shen Tang!
After the previous discussion, no one put forward any feasible suggestions. However, after considering everyone's opinions, Shen Tang had an idea! If his army enters Maozhou, the Qiang people will definitely not fight head-on with their army!
Therefore, what you need to do is not necessarily to completely suppress the Qiang people. You only need to deter the Qiang people and give yourself enough time.
After he arrived at Chengdu Prefecture first, he would have enough time to deal with the Qiang people no matter what their attitude was! Therefore, Shen Tang planned and issued orders directly to his army.
