When Yang Fan was determined to take action, he realized how difficult it would be for a person to do something in the midst of the chaos, which was not at all as simple as he thought when he and Zhang Cambodia were planning: wait for the contradictions to intensify, the barbarians rebelled, find their leaders, know the benefits, persuade them to suspend the army, and then use this to write a letter to impeach the imperial envoy, and with the help of local backlash, force the empress to use the imperial envoy as a scapegoat to calm the anger of the world.
Now that the barbarians are really reversed, the first thing Yang Fan has to do is to find their leader, which alone is not an easy task.
There was chaos everywhere, and the soldiers that Wen Hao and Yun Xuan didn't have time to take away were reduced to pieces, and they started a guerrilla war with the soldiers of the white barbarians and the barbarians.
The armies of both sides were usually farmers, woodcutters, fishermen and herdsmen, and there was no combat discipline in the first place, plus all supplies needed to rely on themselves, and if the army was too concentrated, it would not be able to find enough food to feed their stomachs, so except for this stage of the attack on Yaozhou City, the armies of both sides were divided into pieces and fought in a scattered manner.
This combat mode is very suitable for the tribes here, and the scale of such a battle is not small for these barbarian tribes, but in the eyes of Yang Fan, who has long seen the battle of the large army, it is naturally not worth mentioning.
However, a battle of this scale is actually more suitable for the mountainous and river-heavy terrain of the local area, and the small force is flexible in its actions and convenient for supply, which is far from being comparable to the actions of the group army.
The imperial court soldiers are afraid to use troops here, in fact, there are also concerns in this regard, your military superiority cannot be used here, and you will be dragged to death here by the ubiquitous guerrilla warfare.
This kind of scattered fighting everywhere has created great difficulties for travelers, especially outsiders like Yang Fan, who have lived both on the land and land, and it is even more difficult to move an inch.
His preparation was not sufficient after all, he underestimated Huang Jingrong's ability to get into trouble, and when he hurried to Yaozhou, before he could catch his breath, Huang Jingrong forced the Xun period to reverse.
Yang Fan came back from Nanyang, he didn't understand the lingering sense of superiority in the bones of Huang Jingrong, the arrogance and contempt of the Heavenly Dynasty envoy in the face of the barbarian clan, this kind of person is far from more than Huang Jingrong, in various frontier areas, the chieftain of the barbarian clan is also driven like a dog The town general is very talented, even if this is the Tang Dynasty that is the most tolerant of other ethnic groups, Li Shimin has set the "barbarian family" as a national policy, this phenomenon is not uncommon.
Yang Fan spent two days of hard work and didn't find Bai Man's Xun Period Tusi, but was suspected of being a spy by several groups of Wu Barbarian soldiers who didn't understand the language, if it wasn't for his skills, he would have been killed on the spot.
Yang Fan felt that there was nothing to be done, and the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed again, and the officers and soldiers of Wangzhou, Rongzhou, and Lingnan Province rushed to Yaozhou to quell the rebellion.
Huang Jingrong killed a horse pistol and came back with a bang.
In fact, the officers and soldiers of Wangzhou, Rongzhou, and Lingnan Province did not come so quickly, otherwise the armies of Xun Qi and Meng Zhezhu had already reached the border of Wangzhou, and they would not have withdrawn so smoothly.
After all, the imperial army is well-trained, and the generals know the art of war, which is not comparable to the strength of these tribes who only have experience in small conflicts, as long as the imperial soldiers and horses pursue and block them in an orderly manner, their casualties will be heavy.
Wangzhou, Rongzhou and Lingnan Province have indeed sent troops, but there are not many soldiers and horses.
When Huang Jingrong decided to loot the Baiman and Wuman cottages and provoke them, he had already asked for help from the generals of the garrisons of Wangzhou, Rongzhou and Lingnan Province, saying that he had found that the wanderers suspected of rebellion were protected by the barbarians, and the barbarians had ill intentions and might attack the imperial court, and asked the generals of the three places to send troops to help suppress the situation.
After receiving the letter from the Qincha, the generals of the three places respectively sent a guard and horse to Yaozhou for reinforcements, because it was only a precaution, and it was not certain that the barbarians would rebel, and the purpose of sending troops was only to make a strong impression for the Qincha and intimidate the local people not to act rashly, so the soldiers and horses sent were not very many.
But when they arrived halfway, Yaozhou was already in a mess.
Huang Jingrong fled to Wen Hao's cottage, sent a messenger to contact the reinforcements, and after learning the news of the arrival of the reinforcements, he immediately got in touch with them, and raised a banner, claiming that Wangzhou, Rongzhou and Lingnan Province each sent 30,000 troops, a total of 90,000 troops sent to Yaozhou, Bai Man and Wu Man did not know the details, so they had to retreat in a hurry.
The three men and horses who came to the aid were weak, and they only bluffed, and they did not dare to divide their troops to pursue, so as not to be taken advantage of by the barbarians, so the white barbarians and the black barbarians calmly withdrew their territories, and the court officers and soldiers also regained Yaozhou City bloodlessly.
This accident created an opportunity for Yang Fan, since Bai Man and Wu Man had collected their troops and the soldiers and horses were concentrated in one place, it would be much easier for him to find the other party's toast.
And now that the imperial army has the upper hand, it has also created the best opportunity for his negotiations, thinking of this, Yang Fan immediately rushed to Bai Man's village.
The place Yang Fan chose to go was the Hebai tribe, which was the closest village of the Bai Barbarians to Yaozhou.
The last time Yang Fan came from Wangzhou, he had asked the people of this tribe for directions, and he had also asked one of their girls for water to drink.
Yang Fan had a good impression of them, and felt that the people of this tribe were very friendly, and he might be able to contact their Tusi Xun period through their village head very smoothly.
Yang Fan led the horse and stood on the hillside, silently looking at the paddy field in front of him.
Standing on the high slope and looking down, the irregular paddy fields are more like broken mirrors, and the white clouds of the blue fields are still reflected in the water, but they have lost the poetic and beautiful atmosphere, because the originally neat bunches of rice in the paddy fields are now twisted and crooked, some of them are lying down in the water, and some are struggling to raise their heads, which looks desolate.
In the distance, there are no fishermen casting nets on the jade-belt-like river, no boat-holding men, no girls carrying water on the winding mountain road, and no sweet and moving singing voices.
Yang Fan walked slowly, and suddenly, he stopped, squatted down and looked, there was a black and purple coagulated thing on the ground, it was dried blood.
Yang Fan sighed lightly, looked around, and walked forward along the route that the girl who carried the water that day.
"Whoosh" The sound entered his ears, Yang Fan hurriedly dodged, and at the same time put the knife across his chest, and an arrow was suddenly inserted into the ground three feet in front of him, and a loud shout came from the forest, using the local language, Yang Fan did not hear what the other party was shouting.
Yang Fan secretly broke out in a cold sweat, thanks to the fact that the other party's arrow was of a warning nature, otherwise with the speed of the arrow, and the cover of the branches and leaves of the trees, it would not be easy for him to avoid this arrow.
Seven or eight mountain people armed with shuttle guns suddenly emerged from the forest, they were dressed in white, but they didn't know how to hide, with Yang Fan's ears and eyes, they didn't find any clues.
The mountain people here are indeed natural jungle warfare experts, and their concealment techniques can perfectly conceal their bodies and breaths, and even the most sensitive beasts of the six senses cannot easily detect them, let alone humans.
"Don't do it, I have something important, I want to see your leader" As soon as Yang Fan saw someone appear, he immediately put away his saber, raised his hands high to show that he was not hostile, and shouted loudly at the same time, but the other party became angry when he heard his voice.
"It's a Han" "It must be Huang Jingrong's person" "Kill him" The main body of the white barbarians is the Han people, but they have lived in the local area for a long time and have been monstrous, but the mother tongue has not been put down.
As soon as they heard Yang Fan speak Chinese, those people immediately changed their Chinese, some shouted in surprise, some turned their heads to report to the jungle in the distance, and some couldn't hold it back, and pounced on Yang Fan with red eyes.
"Don't do it, I'm not Huang Jingrong's person" Yang Fan didn't want to fight back, so he had to dodge and dodge, very dexterously avoiding the three shuttle guns that stabbed, and the other mountain people saw that Yang Fan was skilled, and they rushed over together, and seven or eight shuttle guns slammed into him, Yang Fan had to retreat to the side of the forest, and continued to shout: "I have something important, I want to see your village head, don't do it" "Whew" Yang Fan retreated, and suddenly stumbled under his feet, as if he had tripped on some rope, Yang Fan was suddenly shocked, he had been in Nanyang for a long time, and the hidden weapon of the beast hunting had been made and even laid by himself, so he was no stranger to this kind of thing.
Sure enough, a bamboo slap covered with sharp bamboo stakes slammed towards him, if it was hit, there would be more than a dozen transparent holes in his body immediately, and at this time, seven or eight sharp shuttle guns behind him also stabbed at him, and on the other side was a big tree, and on the other side was an open field.
Yang Fan was in the midst of the lightning and flint, and immediately thought that if it was him, he would definitely dig a big pit in this open land, and there were sharp bamboo trees planted all over it, these mountain people were skilled hunters, and they would not fail to think of this, so he immediately rushed under the big tree, and his momentum was so rapid that he seemed to hit his head on the big tree that was thick and thick.
The bamboo slapped into the air, the spear was also pierced, Yang Fan swept under the tree, seeing that he was about to hit the tree, he used his feet on the ground a little harder, and he was about to take advantage of the momentum to jump up and run to the top of the tree, but a little under his feet, a big net suddenly bounced up from the dead leaves and branches, and suddenly pocketed him in it, and the rope was quickly tightened, and he was hung in the air.
Yang Fan still had a knife in his hand, he immediately pulled out the knife, the knife was pulled out, and after glancing down, he obediently put the knife back into its sheath and gave up resistance.
Seven or eight more mountain people rushed out from below, holding rudimentary bamboo bows in their hands, pointing at him who was trapped in the net, and it was absolutely impossible for him to be in the net and avoid these arrows.
Compared with the bows and arrows used by the Tang Dynasty and the northern nomads, the bamboo bows and arrows used by these mountain people are not as powerful, and they will not penetrate too deep into the flesh when they hit the human body, but Yang Fan knows that the power of the arrows of the southerners is not in the arrow itself, but in the various strange poisons quenched on the arrow, even if it is just a little skin, it is enough to kill him, which is far more terrifying than the real hard bow and crossbow.

The only thing Yang Fan could do was to shout: "Don't do it, I have something important to discuss with your village leader, I know your little princess Xun'er, and I also know Xun'er's sister-in-law."
