"Shiwu welcomes the lord to visit Yiling."

Outside the city of Yiling County, Shiwu took a group of officials from Yiling to greet Liu Zheng here.

They had long known that Liu Zheng's men were coming, so it was normal for them to go out of the city to greet them.

Liu Zheng didn't want to cause such a movement, and after simply calming the hearts of Shiwu and these people, he followed Shiwu and these people into this Yiling County.

When he arrived in the county seat, Liu Zheng first talked to Shiwu about the old days, and chatted about Shixie's recent physical condition, after all, Shixie, who is over fifty years old, is already a relatively old person in this era.

Although Shi Xie lived to be 89 years old in history, he can be called one of the longest-lived people in the Three Kingdoms era, Liu Zheng still hopes that he will take care of his health.

Of course, Shiwu told Liu Zheng that there was nothing wrong with his eldest brother.

After chatting a few inconsequential words, Liu Zheng changed his words and talked about the matter in Wuling County.

"Shiwu, what is the current situation in Wuling County, I heard that the news reported by your eldest brother is not enough news, so it is not clear, you come and tell me, maybe you will understand a lot."

was asked by Liu Zheng, Shiwu didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately began to answer Liu Zheng, and described the current complicated situation in Wuling County.

Wuling County, originally ruled by the Han Dynasty, has several small county towns below, but the population is not large.

Later, after Guo Shi occupied Wuling, because Guo Shi had a lot of barbarians under his command, so those barbarians who lived in the wilderness were formed to live in the county town, and as time went by, the number of barbarians became more and more, these barbarians did not obey discipline, and they were warlike by nature, in a conflict, Guo Shi offended some of the barbarians, and made a big disturbance, and finally directly led to the barbarians killing Guo Shi.

In fact, this Wuling barbarian has a large population, and the forces in it are intricate, and it will be difficult to explain clearly for a while.

For example, Wulingman is also called Wuxi Man.

The reason why it is called Wuxi Barbarian is that there are five streams near Wuling County, and the barbarians all live with the water, and then form tribes one by one, and each tribe has a leader.

And with each other, they are not harmonious, Guo Shi can make friends with some of these leaders, but he will always offend other leaders, which makes it difficult for outsiders like Guo Shi to really gain a foothold in Wuling County.

Not to mention a Guo Shi, even among the leaders of Wuxi Man, there are often fights with each other, so fights are also common.

"Guo Shi originally had a good relationship with the leaders of the Xiongxi, Manxi, and Chenxi tribes, and it was with the support of the three of them that Guo Shi was able to occupy a huge foundation in this Wuling County."

"But later, the people of Youxi and Luxi became more and more resentful of Guo Shi, and they were dissatisfied with Guo Shi, which led to Guo Shi's death in the chaos this time."

Shiwu has been coming to Wuling for a while, so he knows a little more about the situation in Wuling than Shixie.

Therefore, Liu Zheng asked Shiwu, but he was able to better understand the situation on Wuling's side.

"The people of Youxi and Luxi, killed Guo Shi? What is the intricate relationship between this Wuxi Man? ”

Liu Zheng didn't know about these situations, but now after hearing Shiwu's words, he became more and more interested in the affairs of Wuxi Man.

This is mainly due to the fact that Wuxi Manli is not in harmony, and if there is no harmony, he will be able to find a breakthrough and disintegrate these people from it.

"The three tribes of Xiongxi, Manxi and Chenxi are close to Jingzhou, and Youxi and Luxi are relatively close to Yizhou. Originally, in fact, the five tribes all supported Guo Shi, and a few years ago, when Guo Shi rebelled, tens of thousands of troops were drawn from the five tribes. ”

"But later, after the failure of the Guo Shi uprising, only Youxi and Luxi died more in the troops of the five tribes, so the leader of Youxi jumped from being the most powerful of the five tribes to the bottom. This made the people of Youxi and Luxi begin to have some grudges against Guo Shi. ”

"And then after a few years of deterioration, it finally became what it is now."

Shiwu first introduced the relationship between Wuxi Man and Guo Shi to Liu Zheng, and then spoke again and told Liu Zheng about the relationship between Wuxi Man.

Wuxi Man, at the beginning, Youxi was the most powerful, occupying more territory, its tribe has nearly 200,000 people, although distributed in the mountains, but can make up 50,000 or 60,000 warriors, while the other four do not have 200,000 people, at most 30,000 or 40,000 people.

But because of Guo Shi's relationship, Youxi's strength was greatly damaged, and he fell to the bottom of the five tribes in one fell swoop.

This made Youxi a little dissatisfied with several other tribes, and Xiongxi and several other tribes had been suppressed by Youxi before, and now they have the opportunity to be the boss, Xiongxi certainly wants to seize the opportunity and become the most powerful tribe among the Wuxi barbarians.

However, the five tribes are always not much different, and it is impossible for one to be dominant, which makes them have to hold together, and the final result is that Youxi and Luxi have become a group, Xiongxi and Manxi are a group, and Chenxi is a wall grass, which was biased towards Youxi before, and now Youxi is declining, and Chenxi immediately ran to the side of Xiongxi.

"So, it's the people of Xiongxi and Manxi who are in control of Wuling County now?"

Liu Zheng asked Shiwu, who nodded.

"Very good, I know, in this case, in fact, the matter of Wuling County is not too complicated, so prepare some manpower for me, let's go to meet the people of Yijian Xiongxi and Manxi first."

Liu Zheng planned to get to know these leaders of Wuxi Barbarians in Wuling County first.

Let's meet these Wuxi barbarians first, and see what kind of attitude these people have towards Liu Zheng's side, and now they are resisting, then Liu Zheng will take the opportunity to eliminate them, if they are willing to embrace Liu Zheng, join Liu Zheng's command, and become part of Liu Zheng's upcoming empire, then Liu Zheng is also willing to take them in.

"Lord, I know, please stay here for a few days, and then I will send someone to contact the people of Naxiongxi and Manxi, and ask them to come over."

Next, Liu Zheng led the men and horses, and did not walk around, but quietly lived in Yiling County, just let his Jinyi Guards go out a little, and began to infiltrate some tribes in Wuling County.

However, even if Liu Zheng wants these Jinyi guards to infiltrate such a tribe in advance, it is not easy to really understand the dynamics of these tribes, after all, the customs of each tribe are different, and the language is not comprehensible, and these Jinyi guards under Liu Zheng are not from various tribes, so it is difficult to integrate into them.

Although there was little hope, Liu Zheng still asked Jinyiwei to go out to investigate, at least, where the various tribes of Wuxi Man were, Liu Zheng still had to know.
