People who are in the political arena must have a sense of propriety. You have messed things up so badly, so you must be able to take responsibility. If you don't even have the ability to take responsibility, then there is nothing to say about many things. At least now you still have a chance to choose. If you continue like this, I'm afraid you won't even have the chance to choose.
The meeting between the two went smoothly. Zhang Jiuli went down the mountain after the talk. Tusi Adu knew very well that he had lost all his bargaining chips. If he still did not agree at this time, then everything might be gone. He could only blame himself for being too reckless and not seeing the situation clearly. He had already started to take action, and this was his result.
At dawn the next day, Tusi Adu didn't order his men to attack; he had already begun to defend. Seeing this, Tusi Longchuan wondered how he could possibly let him defend properly. "You stomped on my face in front of so many people, treating me, your elder brother, like a nobody. So I'll show you why the flowers are so red."
The army of the Longchuan chieftain began to take the initiative to attack, but the army of the Adu chieftain was not to be trifled with. They might not be able to kill the stronghold in their attack, but if they were to defend, they would still have no problem. The armies of both sides fought back and forth similarly to the previous days, and each side suffered half the losses, and ultimately failed to achieve their respective goals.
Several days passed like this, and the subordinates of Longchuan Tusi discovered something amiss, that is, a new group of troops had arrived in Tusi Adu’s military camp. The major Tusi in the mountains knew all about this very well, and since there had not been any wars in recent years, their biggest enemy was naturally the Han people living in the mountains. So they could calculate how many soldiers there were between them, but where did this group of people come from?
Tusi Adu may have a hidden army, but he cannot have hidden weapons. There is no iron produced in the mountains. All the iron is transported from the foot of the mountain, so where did the weapons of these armies come from?
Could it be that this bastard is colluding with the Han people?
The chieftain of Longchuan stood on the watchtower and saw the additional troops in the distance. He had an idea in his mind that the passages up and down the mountain were in his hands, and how much iron to bring up was the most important thing, even more important than salt.
He absolutely believed that it was impossible for Tusi Adu to hide so much iron, but now there were so many weapons in front of him, which was obviously sent by the people from the mountain. At this time, he had not thought that Tusi Adu had completely surrendered. He still thought that Tusi Adu should have reached some kind of agreement with the people from the mountain, but if it was direct support from the army below the mountain, he did not believe it.
In the minds of all the chieftains, the people from the mountain are their ultimate enemies. All conflicts in the mountain should be resolved by themselves. Even if we fight to the death or even burn down another mountain stronghold, that is our own business. We must never let the army from the mountain get involved. If we let the people from the mountain get involved, the nature of the matter will be completely different, which is tantamount to inviting a wolf into the house.
While the Tusi of Longchuan was thinking about this problem, the Tusi of Adu was also feeling uncomfortable. Suddenly, there were more than 3,000 soldiers outside the door. These people were all from the Tang Dynasty army and looked very elite. With their help, there would be no problem in defending. Li Xiang would never help him attack, because attacking would not do him any good. It would only cost our soldiers. It can only help you defend your original land.
Even so, this is a great help to Tusi Adu. He can hand over his camp to these Han people, and then gather other troops to launch a deeper attack on Tusi Longchuan. Now both sides are exhausted. Although Tusi Longchuan has the advantage, this advantage is not so obvious.
The turning point of the matter occurred on the fifth day after the meeting with Zhang Jiuli. On that day, Tusi Adu assembled an elite army of 12,000 people. They launched the attack on a sunny morning. The morale of these people was obviously different from before. This time they were determined to break into the official camp of Tusi Longchuan.
These people have also made great progress in weapons and equipment, especially the swords they wield in their hands. They are all different from before. They were provided by the Tang Dynasty army at the foot of the mountain. When the army of Longchuan Tusi came forward, they found that the swords in their hands seemed to be unable to withstand cuts. Originally, if the two sides clashed, at most there would be a notch on the sword, but now they were actually cut off by the other side with one sword.
In this era of cold weapons, everyone relied on strength and blades to fight. But if your blade was cut off by the opponent in an instant, would you still be able to survive the next blow? Therefore, the people on the Longchuan Tusi side could not hold on at all, and more than 800 people died in the first encounter.
For the Longchuan chieftain, more than 800 people were really nothing. This number was really not large, but it was completed in just one breath. Many people still raised their hands holding their broken knives, and blood was already coming out of their faces. The enemy soldiers used too much force, and after cutting off the knives, they rushed towards the people. Could they still survive?
The chieftain of Longchuan also saw this scene very quickly. These were indeed the so-called precious swords on the mountain. However, there were not many craftsmen on the mountain. Even if these craftsmen did not eat or drink and forged precious swords around the clock, it would be impossible for them to forge so many precious swords.
"This damn bastard has truly forgotten who his ancestors were. Go tell the other two chieftains immediately that Chief Adu has betrayed our ancestors and is now a henchman of the Tang Dynasty."
Although the Longchuan chieftain suffered a defeat, he was not in a hurry. Now is a great opportunity. Don't think that you can take the initiative on the battlefield just because you have new weapons. Once this news spreads, you will immediately be besieged by our three chieftains. The other two chieftains will not bring their troops to help, but they will definitely copy your old tricks.
His men immediately sensed this was an opportunity, so they immediately spread the word, hoping the other two chieftains would take action as soon as possible. Together, the three would kill Chief Adu and purge the mountain of traitors.
