Chapter 2 Yelang humble

"Yelang!?" Meng Long and Moluo couldn't help but be stunned. Meng Long smiled and said, "Why, the Lord wants to conquer Yelang Country!?"

Fusu smiled and said, "Of course, Yelang Country is connected to Bashu in the west, Qianzhong in the north, and Lingnan in the south, and is in the heart of the area south of the Yangtze River controlled by us. When we enter the Central Plains north, if there is any change in this Yelang Country, it will be a problem for us! Therefore, we must start early and collect it!"

Meng Long scratched his head and said, "I know very little about this Yelang Kingdom. Except for an allusion that is 'Yarang', the rest are all rustling."

Fusu smiled and said, "In recent years, I have been preparing for the collection of Yelang Kingdom. After careful investigation by the divine, I roughly figured out the location of Yelang Kingdom. According to the modern location, it is: west of Huangping, Guizhou Province, north of Baise, Guangxi, south of Yibin, Sichuan, and east of Chuxiong, Yunnan!"

Moro was surprised and said, "Isn't Yelang a small country? Why does it sound like it spans several provinces and has a huge territory!" Fusu smiled and said, "That's the allusion of legends. There are too many false parts, so it's not true! In fact, among the southwest barbarian countries, this Yelang country has the largest territory, the strongest national strength, and the finest weapons and gorgeous artifacts. It cannot be underestimated if it does not go to the Central Plains!"

Menglong and Moro looked at each other, a little surprised. Menglong smiled and said, "This Yelang Kingdom is surrounded by mountains and is isolated from the world. Most people in the world don't know much about it. After hearing what the emperor said, we really underestimate it!"

Fusu nodded and smiled and said, "Yes, Yelang cannot be called "Xiao Yelang", but should be called "Da Yelang". His people are more than 300,000 and 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers are enough to be a county in the Central Plains. If we collect them, we will definitely greatly increase our strength!"

Meng Long nodded and said thoughtfully: "It seems that this Yelang is powerful enough to fight. In addition, its territory overlaps, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. How do you want to collect this Yelang country?"

Fusu smiled and said, "Of course, it was a great favor! The current Yelang king Mo Xiefei is humble and cowardly, and has no great ability. As long as we put heavy troops in the border and give a lot of money, we will definitely be able to win!"

Moro smiled and said, "Seeing that you are so confident, it seems that this Yelang Kingdom is doomed this time!" "Hahaha!" The three of them laughed!

Three days later, Fusuti had 150,000 troops, went out of Lingqu and took Yelang directly!

Along the way, the itinerary was very difficult: it was better in the South Vietnamese territory. After all, Fusu used a large army to build many roads in the past three years, but the closer the Yelang Kingdom, the more difficult the road was. Sometimes it even had to rely on the Qin army to drive a road in the mountains and forests. In this way, it was actually not too far. The 150,000 Qin troops traveled for three months before reaching the border of the Yelang ancient country!

This is a dangerous pass on one side. There are four huge ancient characters engraved on the cliff below the pass. The dragon and phoenix welcome the brigade of Qin soldiers. Fusu called the local native guide to ask, and then he realized that the four ancient characters of Yelang mean: "Yanjiang Key".

This pass, called it the Iron Pass by Yelang people, is the only place to enter and exit the Yelang Kingdom, so there are three thousand soldiers of Yelang Kingdom garrison on the pass.

Li Xinwen laughed and said, "Your Majesty, give me ten thousand soldiers and horses. Only with a charge can you take down this iron gate!"

Fusu smiled and said, "Oh, don't move. The real purpose of your 150,000 troops is just to deterrent. I came to Yelang but I have no hope of really fighting! Fang Tuo, go to meet the generals of Yelang Kingdom at the Daweiguan and tell them that we are envoys from the Great Qin Kingdom. We ask to go through the Daweiguan and go to the capital of the country to visit the king Mo Xiefei! Remember, be more flexible and adaptable!" "Here!" Fang Tuo nodded and called the guide. The two of them ran towards the Daweiguan.

When Fang Tuo and his men came to the iron gate, they saw that after the gate was closed, the Yelang soldiers were all out of their swords and bowed their bows, and their expressions were tense, as if they were facing a great enemy. It seemed that these Yelang soldiers also discovered that the brigade of Qin soldiers were coming!

From afar, when the Yelang soldier closed the door, he saw two people running towards the level, and shouted a few times on the level. Fang Tuo didn't understand a word, so he had to stop the horse and ask the guide beside him, "What did the Yelang man say?" The guide said, "The general of Yelang Kingdom asked who we were? He told us not to get close, otherwise the bows and arrows would be fired!"

Fang Tuo curled his lips contemptuously and said with a funny look: "Tell them that we are envoys sent by the Qin Dynasty in the Heavenly Kingdom, and they ask to pass the level and visit their king!" After the guide got the order, he replied to the locks with a gushy back!

The Yelang general who was on the gate seemed very surprised when he heard this. After thinking about it over and over again, he replied. After hearing this, the guide said, "General, the general of Yelang Kingdom said: You have too many soldiers and horses, so you can't let you go. You can only let your envoy lead a hundred people to pass the gate! Moreover, your army must retreat thirty miles away to camp, and you are not allowed to approach Guancheng!" It seems that General Yelang is not stupid either!

Fang Tuo thought about it and curled his lips and said, "You are really overestimating yourself! Tell them that the envoy from our Qin State this time is the king's eldest son. The army can retreat thirty miles away, but the prince must bring a thousand people to pass the pass, otherwise the safety of our prince will not be guaranteed along the way! If you disagree, you will drive the army to attack the camp!" Fang Tuo wanted Fusu to bring the "Wolf Tooth" warriors into the pass, so there is no need to worry about such a common obstacle!

Upon hearing this, the guide quickly negotiated with the Yelang General who was closed again. General Yelang seemed to be in a difficult position and thought about it over and over again: he felt that his arm could not twist his thighs. If he disagreed, the dense Qin army would definitely die if he attacked the camp; and the Qin army did not seem to be malicious, and he really wanted to visit King Mo Xiefei, otherwise he would directly attack the camp, without talking nonsense, nor would he agree to retreat thirty miles away, so he had to agree unwillingly!

Fang Tuo replied to Fusu, and Fusu smiled and said, "Okay, there are only one thousand people, let the troops of "Wolf Fang" follow me. Li Xin, you will lead the rest of the army to retreat thirty miles to set up camps. Without my orders, you must not act rashly!" Li Xin said, "Your Majesty only brings 1,000 people into his country. Isn't it too risky to take it?"

Fusu smiled and said, "If you really turn against each other, I don't take this fool soldier from Yelang Country seriously. Don't worry! Qin Hu, go!" "Here!"

Fusu then led a thousand "Wolf Tooth" warriors to the iron gate and signaled to close the Yelang troops and open the gate to let go. General Yelang saw that the Qin people had indeed retreated as promised, and did only bring only one thousand people to pass the gate, so he ordered the gate to open the gate.

When Fusu entered the village, he saw that he was in a trunk road, on the high walls on both sides, all Yelang soldiers were as if they were facing a great enemy, and their bows and arrows were aimed at the Qin army. It seems that if the Qin army had any abnormal movements, the gates on both sides would definitely be fired at once! At that time, even with the courage of "Wolf Tooth", he would be enough to drink a pot. General Yelang dared to let a thousand Qin army enter the pass, and he was not afraid of it!

Fusu smiled and said to the guide: "You tell them not to be nervous. We have no ill intentions. Say hello to their general and ask him to send two soldiers to guide us to Maokou!"

Upon hearing this, the guide hurriedly negotiated with the leading General Yelang. General Yelang nodded and asked the two soldiers to lead the way for Fusu. He was worried about sending Fusu army out of the iron gate along the corridor, and then quickly sent someone to Maokou to inform the king Mo Xiefei to be on guard!

After leaving the Iron Pass, Fusu looked at it and saw that there were clouds and mist in front of him, and the mountains were dense and unfathomable. After asking the Yelang soldier who led the way, Fusu knew that this was the place called the "Nine-Story Mountain Area" by the locals. Their capital Maokou is located at the foot of Lao Wang Mountain, a big mountain in the northwest of Jiusan Mountain. It is half a month away from the Iron Pass!

Fusu frowned when he heard this and smiled bitterly: "Okay, climb the ravine slowly!"

The army and horses traveled westward and encountered checkpoints along the way. Fusu asked soldiers to pass the imperial examination and gradually entered the hinterland of Yelang. The hinterland became more and more unique: as the temperature gradually increased, the sugarcane forests in the subtropical river valleys were one after another, emitting a faint fragrance; under the shade of the trees, you can see the exquisite bamboo houses in the mountains and forests from time to time.

Sure enough, after half a month of trekking, everyone came to Maokou City at the foot of Laowang Mountain. It was close to the rushing Yanjiang River and not too far from Guiyang, the modern Guizhou Provincial Capital.

In fact, the Maokou City is divided into five: gold, wood, fire, fire, and earth. The origin is: It is said that after the Yelang King established the capital of Maokou, in order to ensure the country's fortunes forever, he used the theory of the five elements to name the major cities. Among them was Jincheng, and Langmu City, Qingshui City, Liehuo City, and Pantu City were built around. These five cities were centered on Jincheng, and the other four cities guarded the surroundings!

In fact, the five cities in Maokou are not large in size. Jincheng may have a population of 10,000 or 20,000, and the other four cities will not exceed 10,000. In the Central Plains, it is just an inconspicuous small city, but in this Yelang Kingdom, it is considered an extraordinary city!

When Fusu and his group came to Jincheng, the Yelang King Mo Xiefei, who was informed, had already led all the civil and military officials from all over the country to welcome him! Seeing Fusu and others coming from afar, the Yelang King's Drum Band immediately played various ancient instruments, and the sound of joyful notes came into his ears!

Seeing that, Fusu was unwilling to lose his manners, he quickly jumped off his horse and walked to meet Yelang Wang Mo Xiefei!

Far from afar, when Yelang King Mo Xiefei saw General One Qing stalking, he knew that it was Fusu, so he bent down and bowed and said, "Yelang King Mo Xiefei welcomed the prince of Qin, and I would like to give you the most sincere greetings!"

The guide translated and Fusu also replied in accordance with Yelang's etiquette: "The Qin Prince Fusu thanked the King of Yelang for his warm welcome, and wished the King of Yelang good health and good luck!"

The two of them were polite, and the Yelang King invited Fusu and his group to enter Jincheng. Of course, the army could not enter the city, so they were stationed outside Jincheng under the orders of generals, and they would reward the officials of Yelang Kingdom!

When Fusu entered Jincheng, he was surprised to find that the greening work in Jincheng was really good. There were lush trees and bamboo forests everywhere, and large bamboo houses and stone houses were cleverly hidden in it. It can be said that the forest is the city, and the city is the forest!

When we walked into the city, a large bamboo building complex was faintly revealed in a small bamboo forest. It seemed that this was the Yelang Palace!

Sure enough, the King of Yelang invited Fusu into the forest, walked through the long bamboo corridor, and came to a very spacious bamboo house. Dozens of tables were already arranged in the house, with fresh fruits and local dishes on it.

The Yelang King bent down again and said with a smile: "Your Highness, please sit on the head with me, and the subordinates please sit on the left!" The guide told Fusu, and Fusu also bent down to thank him. So everyone took the seats with the guests and the host!

After everyone sat down, they started talking with each other under the guidance of the guide!

Mo Xiefei raised his wine glass and smiled and said, "I heard for a long time that there is a great country in the north of my Yelang Kingdom saying: Qin is very prosperous! It's a pity that the mountain road is far away and we can't help but go back and forth. I didn't expect that the prince actually came to me Yelang today, which really makes me honored!"

Fusu smiled and said, "Qin and Yelang were originally neighboring countries, and they never visited each other in the past year, which was really rude. Therefore, during the southern expedition, I came to Yelang to visit the king!"

Mo Xiefei was very happy to hear this, "You are kind to you, come here, sing and dancing!" As soon as he finished speaking, eight beautiful Yelang girls and four musicians came in outside the bamboo house.

Amid the novel and cheerful sound of silk and bamboo, eight beautiful girls wearing bronze crowns, red and blue dresses began to dance happily. The elegance and unrestrained dance opened Fusu's eyes, just like a group of fiery red butterflies dancing in the house. The leading girl sang a cheerful and melodious mountain song. The affectionate and melodious voice couldn't help but feel intoxicated!

Seeing Fusu being a little dazzled, Mo Xie smiled complacently and said, "Prince Fusu, look at how beautiful and energetic the girls in our Yelang Kingdom are. How about Qin Kingdom?"

Fusu smiled and said, "Each one has its own strengths. The liveliness of the Yelang girl and the unrestrained dance posture may be slightly inferior to that of the Qin Dynasty, but in terms of the charm of the girl and the delicate and gentle dance posture, I, Daqin, have to be better!"

Mo Xiefei smiled and said, "The prince is so quick! By the way, I dare to ask the prince, which country is bigger than that of Qin?"

Fusu was stunned for a moment and thought to himself: "It seems that this Yelang Kingdom is so closed. Do you know almost nothing about the outside world?" He smiled and said: "Do you dare to ask how many people, how many soldiers, how wide is the circle?"

Mo Xiefei said proudly: "My Yelang has 400,000 people and 50,000 soldiers. It is a month's journey from north to south, from east to west!"

Fusu laughed and said, "Let the king know that our great Qin has 20 million people and 2 million soldiers, from north to south, from east to west, and can make people walk for a year. Our country is divided into forty-one counties, and no matter which county it can be compared with Yelang Kingdom. Therefore, compared with our great Qin Kingdom, Yelang Kingdom is really too small!"

Fusu said something, and everyone was shocked. Mo Xiefei said in amazement: "Your country is so big, it's really unimaginable!" The civil and military officials were also whispering, shocked and suspicious.

Fusu smiled and said, "What's so surprising? This prince will lead 500,000 troops to various countries in the south! There were 150,000 people who came with me to visit. Didn't the general guarding the pass of your country tell the king?"

The guards who struck the iron gate had urgent messages to send Mo Xie to Mo's fees, but they just said that there were many Qin troops, and the specific numbers were not clear (how dare he go out to investigate!). At this time, the Yelang Kingdom heard that the Qin people had a large army outside the country alone, and the king and ministers changed their faces.

Mo Xiefei said in a little horrified voice: "My Yelang Kingdom has always been against your country. I don't know why the noble envoy came to me Yelang, so why did he lead so many troops and horses?"

Fusu smiled and said, "A few years ago, the neighboring countries to the east of the King were the Yue people invading the border of our Great Qin, which made my father very angry. I ordered my prince to lead a 500,000 army south to sweep the south! Now, the three countries of the Yue people have been wiped out by my prince, and their 300,000 army have been wiped out. However, your country is still standing in the south of our Qin, making it difficult for me to make a deal!"

A cold sweat broke out on Mo Xiefei's forehead and he was frightened: He knew a little about the power of Yue people. Now the three countries of Yue people are all over. How can one Yelang be the opponent of Qin? He couldn't help but smile and said with a smile: "Your Highness, I Yelang is willing to repair your country forever. I will never dare to send one army or another invade. Please do not want to meet with soldiers!" The civil and military officials of Yelang were also panicked and agreed repeatedly.

Fusu said slowly, "It seems that the king still doesn't understand the current situation. Well, I will give the king a detailed explanation! Now to the west of your country are Ba County and Shu County of Great Qin, Qianzhong County of Qin to the north and east, and Guilin County of Qin in the southeast. It can be said that Yelang is currently surrounded by all sides of our Qin territory. Please think, if you are the king of my Qin, will you tolerate a country in a safe and stable manner!?"

Mo Xiefei's face immediately changed, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He never expected that Yelang was surrounded by others in a sudden moment! He couldn't help but say in fear: "How can the prince want me, Yelang, to let us go?"

Fusu smiled and said, "Actually, this is very simple. As long as Yelang Kingdom surrenders to our Great Qin, abolish the Yelang Kingdom name, disband the army, and establish the Qin Qiannan County! In the future, the army of Yelang Kingdom will be controlled by our Great Qin, but the government affairs will be managed by our Great Qin officials and the former Yelang officials, and the king will still serve as the highest commander of Qiannan County! What do you think?"

Mo Xiefei was a little shocked when he heard this. He wanted to object, but he had no confidence, so he had to whisper: "Your Highness, I will find it difficult to make a decision on such a big thing for a while. Please give me some time?"

Seeing Mo Xiefei's pitiful appearance, Fusu couldn't bear to force him too much, and smiled and nodded, "Okay, let the king reply tomorrow! However, this prince reminded the king: If the king does not follow, then the war will surely start. By then, my army of hundreds of thousands will be blocked from all sides. Yelang may not escape the situation of burning both jade and stones. I hope the king will think twice!"

Mo Xiefei's forehead was sweating faster and he hurriedly said, "I know, I know!" He could no longer sit still, so he found an excuse to leave in a hurry, and the Yelang officials also quickly escaped quietly!

Seeing this, Fang Tuo smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that the monarch and ministers of Yelang are scared. Maybe we can collect Yelang without using swords and guns! But it was funny to think of the words of Yelang just now. He actually asked us: Yelang or Qin, which one is bigger!" "Hahaha..." Everyone laughed.

The next day, Fusu came to Jincheng to see Mo Xiefei. When he saw Mo Xiefei's appearance, he couldn't help but startle Fusu: Mo Xiefei's face was gray, his eyes were covered with bloodshot, and his hair was messy, and he seemed to have not been asleep all night!

Although Fusu felt a little unbearable, he still hardened his heart: "I don't know how you are thinking?" Mo Xiefei smiled bitterly and said, "Is there any room for me to think about it? For the sake of the safety of my Yelang people, I am willing to surrender to Qin and be a subject of Qin forever. I just hope that Your Highness can treat my Yelang people well!"

Fusu breathed a sigh of relief: "In history, the Yelang Kingdom was so excited that he immediately surrendered when he heard the envoy sent by Emperor Wu of Han. However, this time I seemed to be more forced!" He said earnestly: "Don't worry, my rituals and culture of the Celestial Dynasty are hundreds of times better than Yelang. If Yelang submits to our Celestial Dynasty, he will inevitably become richer and healthy!" Mo Xiefei had no choice but to nod his head sadly.
Chapter completed!
