heavy weapon is king

Chapter 125 Who dares not obey!

Tiger Village, Juyi Hall.

Nie Zheng sat on the tiger-skin chair with a stern expression.

At this moment, in the huge Juyi Hall, hundreds of leaders of the Dragon and Tiger Mountains, headed by Shen Hongyu, Shi Zheng, and Yi Zixuan, are waiting at the bottom of the Juyi Hall, waiting eagerly for Leader Nie to announce Important things.

Nie Zheng was leaning on the tiger leather chair, tapping the dragon and tiger heads on the left and right armrests lightly with both hands, but he was thinking of something to say in his heart.

The scene was completely silent. Before President Nie spoke, everyone stood quietly on the spot, not daring to say anything easily.

After deliberating for a long time, Nie Zheng finally organized his words. Immediately, he stood up slowly, looked at the leaders in the hall, and said loudly: "Brothers, I have called you here today. I have something to do with you. I need to discuss with everyone about the important matter of my dragon and tiger's future."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's hearts were shocked, and they all turned their eyes to him.

Taking a deep breath, Nie Zheng said slowly under everyone's gaze: "I plan to lead all the dragons and tigers to Annan County in seven days' time. Do you have any objections to this?"

After saying that, Nie Zheng glanced sharply over everyone's faces, wanting to see their reactions.

Just when he said that he was going to Annan, there was an uproar in Juyi Hall.

Except for Jia Xiufang who knew the inside story, the reactions of the others were different, some were surprised, some were puzzled, some were excited and fanatical, and some even showed a hint of panic on their faces.

Nie Zheng had a panoramic view of the various expressions of the people. He wanted to see how many people opposed the decision to capture Annan.

After all, this is not a trivial matter. It concerns the future and destiny of the entire Dragon and Tiger Mountains. Everyone here has the right to express their thoughts and concerns.

Sure enough, after a while, a white-haired old hall master in his sixties raised an objection. "Leader, my subordinate Guan Hanshan has objections."

Nie Zheng glanced at him and said lightly, "Say!"

Guan Hanshan walked slowly to the tiger-skin chair, bowed his hands and said, "Leader, my subordinates think that it is not wise to stay away from dragons and tigers and go to Annan."

Nie Zheng frowned, and said calmly, "Why did Master Guan say that?"

Guan Hanshan looked up at Nie Zheng, and said with a solemn expression: "Master, have you ever thought that we have been entrenched in dragons and tigers for many years, and our roots are deep-rooted. In all states and counties, there are wind media and spies, occupying geographical advantages and harmony. If I am afraid that I will be in a difficult situation when I leave the Longhu Mountains for many years and go to the unfamiliar Annan County. You know, the tens of thousands of horses in the Longhu Mountains are all gathered in one village. If these tens of thousands of horses are really To move to Annan County thousands of miles away, not to mention the long and treacherous journey, and to face the checkpoints set up by heavy soldiers in various states and counties of the Song Dynasty, this trip is full of difficulties, please think twice."

As soon as Guan Hanshan's words fell, another respected and respected old hall master stood up and cupped his hands at Nie Zheng to persuade him: "Master, my subordinates also deeply agree with what Hall Master Guan said just now. Traveling to Annan is not only a difficult journey, but what worries my subordinates is that if we really go through all kinds of hardships to resist Annan, we will be in a more dangerous situation then."

Hearing this, Nie Zheng's face darkened, "Oh, what's so dangerous, Master Yue said, come and listen."

Yue Gang took a deep breath and said slowly: "Leader, as far as I know, Annan County in the southern border of the Great Song Dynasty has long been occupied by the native tribes of Dayue. I hate us Han people very much. If we really enter the territory of Annan, we will definitely anger those Da Yue natives, and there will definitely be a fierce battle at that time. Although we are a strong dragon, we will not be able to suppress the ferocious local snakes in Da Viet."

As soon as this remark came out, within the Juyi Hall, more than a dozen older hall masters and leaders stood up to dissuade them with respectful words.

"Annan's trip was too difficult and dangerous, please think again, leader."

"Dragon and Tiger are the ancestral land where we and others have survived for generations. If we leave this place, it will mean that we will be forced to leave our hometown. I will... be reluctant..."

"Leader, going to Annan County, everything is unknown, this move is too risky, I would like to ask the leader to think twice."

"It's hard for a strong dragon to overwhelm a local snake. Leader, please think twice before acting."

"Think twice, leader..."

Facing the persuasion from these dozen or so stubborn old men, Nie Zheng yelled loudly, "Shut up!"

After a burst of drinking, the audience shook.

Everyone stood there in a daze, as silent as a cicada.

At this time, Nie Zheng looked coldly at the dozen or so stubborn old men who spoke out to dissuade them just now, and said with a livid face: "Short-sighted, if it is the whole dragon and tiger mountains, everyone is like you. I'm afraid it won't be long before our dragon and tiger mountains will disintegrate and perish sooner or later."

Speaking of this, Nie Zheng paused for a moment, his eyes flashed with an extremely sharp light, and continued: "Although we have been entrenched in the Dragon and Tiger Mountains for many years, the tree has deep roots. But how can we compare this moment with that moment? Today, the Dragon and Tiger Group There are tens of thousands of people on the mountain, all gathered in Tiger Ridge, and the food and grass consume hundreds of stones every day. If they continue to stay here and do not leave, where will the food and grass come from?

Although the dragon and the tiger are big, for us, they have no roots.We are entrenched here, apart from looting and looting, what is the way out?Now that the Huns have invaded the south, if the trade routes around Longhu are cut off and the people in nearby counties evacuate, what will we rely on to survive in the future?Besides, whether it is the imperial court or the Xiongnu, they will never sit back and watch us grow stronger. Sooner or later, they will send a large army to wipe us out. At that time, we will not be able to leave even if we want to.

As the old saying goes, people have no long-term worries, but they must have near-term worries.That being the case, why don't we find a way out in advance, so that the tens of thousands of us in the mountains can have a safe place to go?Going to Annan County is an idea that I have thought about for a long time. At present, in the entire Song Dynasty, there is no pure land except the border Annan.We have no other way out except to occupy a piece of our own territory..."

According to what Nie Zheng said, everyone's mood is very complicated.

Some hall masters with a long-term vision began to seriously think about this matter.

However, there are still a small number of stubborn people who still feel that it is a wise choice to stay away from Dragon and Tiger and go to South Africa.

For a while, the old masters such as Guan Hanshan and Yue Gang continued to stand up and try to dissuade them, nagging endlessly.

Seeing this scene, Nie Zheng's face darkened, and he shouted in a cold voice: "I have made up my mind about Annan's trip, so don't try to persuade me any longer! The meeting is over..."

"Master, this trip is inappropriate."

"Traveling to Annan is too risky, the leader should consider it carefully."

"This subordinate is willing to ask the leader to think twice..."

Facing the chattering of the old and stubborn, Nie Zheng was furious on the spot, and roared, "Where is the patron?"

As soon as the words fell, immediately, the red robe holder who had been waiting respectfully on the left side of the statue of the patriarch immediately issued an iron flag order from the front of the patriarch, and walked quickly to Nie Zheng's side.

I saw the red robe holding the ordering guest holding up the tray, and shouted with a solemn expression: "As soon as the iron flag is raised, ten thousand Kou will surrender!"

As soon as the Iron Banner order came out, all expressions in the Gathering Hall immediately changed.

Including Shen Hongyu and Yi Zixuan who were at the top, all the hall masters of Longhu Mountain knelt down on one knee and bowed to the mountain with extremely respectful expressions.

At this time, Nie Zheng slowly walked up to the customer holding the order, took the pitch-black token in the tray in his hand, looked at the crowd with a gloomy expression, and said word by word: "Here is Ye Zu's legacy, Who dares to refuse!"

The scene was silent, and no one dared to refute.

Nie Zheng cast his eyes on the pitch-black token in his hand, and found that there were actually two lines of small characters engraved on the front of the token.

Jumping horse outside Tianshan Mountain, swinging the sword across Hanzhong!
After seeing these two lines clearly, Nie Zheng's heart was shaken, his blood boiled, he turned involuntarily and looked towards the statue of the Patriarch, and secretly sighed: "What a great bandit of the Five Dynasties, what a peerless hero Ye Jingshen..."

Just when Nie Zheng lost his mind in front of the statue of the patriarch, all the hall masters got up and left the Juyi hall one after another, because they had to go back in advance to make preparations because they had to leave Longhu and travel to Annan in seven days.

At this time, Nie Zheng turned around slowly, looked at Shi Zheng who was about to leave, and Xu Shijie and other more trusted hall masters, and said loudly: "Hall master Shi, hall master Xu, hall master Su, please stop..."
