"Wu Hou. It is the best policy to let Zijing mobilize taxes and use them as military rations. However, it may also arouse the suspicion of the foxes in the four counties of Jingnan, among which Lingling is too guarded by Liu Du, Wuling is too guarded by Jinxuan, and Guiyang is too guarded by Zhao Fan, who needs to be appeased, and give more gold and silver to appease his heart. As for Changsha, it is even more important, Changsha is not only a large county, but also connected to Jiangdong, just south of Jiangxia, with a population of more than 200,000. I asked myself to guard Changsha County, and asked Wu Hou to send more officials to me, and I ran it for Wu Hou. And asked Wu Hou to send a general to command the Changsha soldiers and horses. ”

"And when I go to Changsha, I can also contact the Wuxi barbarian Shamoke, I heard that Nashamoke is greedy for money, and I can give more gold and silver to appease him."

Gu Yong finished talking about what was in his heart in one breath and gave it up.

However, it was Han Dang who attacked the four counties of Jingnan, and the speed of pacification was extremely fast. On the one hand, Han Dang is of course very powerful, on the other hand, except for Han Xuan's slight resistance, the rest of Wuling is too guarded by Jin Xuan, Guiyang is too guarded by Zhao Fan, and Lingling is too guarded by Liu Du because of Han Dang's prestige and Jiangdong Bingfeng, he did not resist and sent his envoys into the army to surrender.

Han Dang was not embarrassed, and after accepting the surrender, he led his army north.

After that, except for Han Xuan, the three Taishou continued to guard the county. There was no way to do this, Sun Quan could have slowly digested Jing Nan.

However, Zhou Yu raised a large army to attack Nanjun and has been confronting the Guan family so far. Sun Quan currently has no available soldiers in his hands, and these three counties are too guarded to have 10,000 soldiers and horses each.

Sun Quan did not dare to temporarily change the Taishou, causing the rebellion of the Taishou of the three counties, and it would be bad at that time.

I can only try to appease and maintain the official position of the Taishou in various places. Of course, Sun Quan also managed to get hostages from the hands of the three Taishou, and the three county Taishou each had children and nephews in the hands of Sun Quan.

Only Changsha is different from Jiangxia, Jiangxia Taishou Huangzu was killed, and Han Xuan was also disposed of. Changsha is scattered. Sun Quan could take the opportunity to send someone to serve as a taishou and suppress it with a strong general.

Taking the opportunity to digest Changsha has many benefits.

One is that Changsha is adjacent to Jiangdong, and the other can be with Jiangxia in the north, which is a horn for each other.

There is also an unspoken advantage, if Sun Quan is defeated and the army loses its advantage in Jingzhou, it can retreat to Changsha and Jiangxia to defend it.

Gu Yongnai is a political strongman, and he is an excellent candidate for Changsha Taishou.

"Okay." After Sun Quan thought about it, he wrote the document and asked Lu Su to dispatch the taxes of the four counties as military food.

Let Gu Yong be the county guard of Changsha, bring many Jiangdong officials to take office, and give Gu Yong the right to act cheaply, such as recruiting Wuxi barbarians, appointing county orders and officials.

With the general He Qi leading 2,000 troops, he went to Changsha to recruit Han Xuan's old troops, gathered 120,000 people, and guarded Changsha County.

Shanyue, Wuxi barbarians, and even the Taishou of the four counties of Jingzhou are all hidden dangers and problems. Zhuge Liang took it into account, and Sun Quan also took it into account.

Sun Quan also did his best to consolidate and strengthen the internal defenses and appease the potential unstable factors.

And in the current situation, except for Ma Liang, the Guan family no longer has the ability to compete with Sun Quan for Nanjun.

So the flowers bloom twice, and I have to mention Maleonn.

However, he said that Ma Liang was begging for the overseer in his name, and gave Zhang Bao and Zhao Tong an idea to prevent these two guys from being eaten by Jiangdong people. Guan Ping personally replaced Ma Liang and asked Ma Liang to go south to appease Shamoke.

Ma Liangji knew the Wuxi barbarians, and knew that Shamoke was greedy for money and fame, and there was no way to bring money, after all, the current Jingnan area was occupied by Sun Quan.

However, Ma Liang asked Guan Pingduo to burn the general, the marquis to seal the letter, and appease Shamoke.

Can the seal be used as a soothing?

It seems like a fantasy.

But it's actually useful.

In history, Cao Cao dealt with Sun Quan, and burned many seals to the Shanyue marshal, and these Shanyue marshals were used by Cao Cao to cause sabotage in Jiangdong.

Guan Yu led the troops to launch the battle of Xiangfan, and he didn't want money to send a letter, and many people in Nanyang County helped Guan Yu.

All in all, the seal has been tried and tested. Of course, the key is to see who uses it and how to use it. Ma Liang was burdened with a heavy responsibility, took a few entourages, a lot of letters, crossed the river at night, arrived at the border of Jingnan like a thief, and then took a small road, crossed the mountains and mountains, crossed the stream, and went through nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties, and then arrived at the place under the jurisdiction of Jingnan Nanmoko.

The combined territory of the four counties in Jingnan is equivalent to the scope of two or three states in the Central Plains. However, the population is scarce, and Changsha has the largest population, but it is only two or three hundred thousand.

First, the cultivated land area of the four counties is small, only a small area of plains, and more of them are lofty mountains. And in this lofty mountain, there are hundreds of thousands of Wuxi barbarians.

These barbarians have existed since ancient times, after Emperor Guangwu revived the Han Dynasty, he once sent the Fubo general Ma Yuan to conquer the Wuxi barbarians, but Ma Yuan died of illness on the way.

These Wuxi barbarians live in large and small valleys and small plains in the middle of the mountains, and their territory and the four counties are actually intertwined.

In general with Shanyue, the autumn harvest is abundant, and the grain is full and does not move, and if it is not full, it attacks the four counties of Jingnan.

The four counties were deeply disturbed by it.

Another thing is the same as Shanyue, that is, it is deeply eroded by the Han culture, and many nobles in the clan, and even among the commoners, can speak Chinese.

But unlike Shanyue, these Wuxi barbarians are far away from Shanyue and Baiyue in terms of blood, and closer to Yizhou Nanban.

And the Wuxi barbarians are also divided into various tribes, and everyone does not belong to each other. But in this generation, the strength of the barbarian king Shamoko far surpassed that of the rest of the tribes.

Wuxi barbarians have a population of hundreds of thousands, and Shamoke has a population of 200,000 and 40,000 soldiers and horses. The rest of the Wuxi barbarians had to obey Shamoko's dispatch.

200,000 people, 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers and horses, but it is not an exaggeration, but it is true. Wuxi Barbarians are located in the deep mountains and old forests, and the living conditions are extremely difficult.

There are few men and women who live long, and most of the 200,000 people are in the prime of life. In addition, the Wuxi barbarians basically did not have too many standing soldiers, they were all for the people during agricultural time and soldiers during wartime.

If Shamoko loots, it can really form forty or fifty thousand people.

Miscellaneous Army.

All in all, Samoko is a one-of-a-kind, Ma Liang's goal.

Shamoke has a city in the deep mountains at the junction of Wuling and Lingling, called Shacheng. With Shacheng as the center, Wuling, and Lingling, except for the Han city, are all Shamoke's sphere of influence.

Ma Liang and his team pretended to be merchants, and arrived at the small mountain plain where Shacheng was located in a little embarrassment.

In addition to the guards, Ma Liang and his entourage also had an official of the Guanping Shogunate who served as a deputy envoy. It is Zhang Miao, a native of Nanjun, who has average talent, but excellent physical strength.

But even though his physical strength is excellent, Zhang Miao, who has arrived here after a lot of hardships, is also very embarrassed. The steps are vain and top-heavy.

"When we finally arrived, it was really a poor mountain and a bad water, full of miasma. It's a destiny to be here alive. The sun was too poisonous and sweaty, Zhang Miao wiped the sweat on her forehead, full of ease to get out of the sea of bitterness.

It's really a primeval forest with poor mountains and bad waters.

Along the way, they were not pursued by official forces, but one person was bitten to death by snakes, two were bitten to death by insects, and one fell into the water and died while crossing the river.

The rest had various ways to die, losing seven people.

I'm really lucky to be here alive.

Ma Liang's physical strength is much worse than Zhang Miao's, so tossing, almost skinny, a good beautiful man, has become a skeleton man, and it is very dark.

Ma Liang exhaled and said happily: "It is indeed destiny." ”

Before leaving, Ma Liang didn't expect the road to be so difficult. Now that I think about it, it is very likely that their small team will be wiped out in the middle of the process for various reasons.

Not to mention appeasing Shamoke, there is only a seventy or eighty percent chance of reaching Shacheng alive. And this seventy or eighty percent chance has been caught by him.

It's really destiny.

Since I, Ma Liang, have come here alive, and if I don't get things done, won't I have suffered so much in vain?

Ma Liang and his gang were really tired, and after coming to this small plain, they took out water and dry food, hid in the shade of the trees, and after eating and drinking to their heart's content, they continued on the road, and walked for about an hour before they reached the dust.

This small plain is quite large, and the road is mostly fertile land, where rice is grown. As a farming nation, Wuxi Barbarians' ability to cultivate the fields is no worse than that of the Han people.

This sand city is no different from the Han city, and the people mostly wear clothes made of linen, but there are many people who wear shawls and few people who tie their hair.

After Ma Liang and his party entered the city, they sent people to investigate, and after learning where Shamoko's mansion was, they went to Shamoko's mansion.

Because Ma Liang and a group of dozens of people were stopped in front of the door, the guards were eyeing them. After Zhang Miao stepped forward to communicate, Ma Liang and Zhang Miao were invited into the mansion, while the rest of the entourage was left outside the mansion.

The mansion of this Shamoke is still generally a Han building, and there is a plaque "Shawang" hanging outside the door of the house, and the interior decoration is surprisingly exquisite and elegant.

It's like a Han people's house. But Ma Liang and Zhang Miao are both people who are familiar with Shamoke, so they are not surprised.

After entering the house, Ma Liang and Zhang Miao were introduced into the lobby, and there were fair-skinned and beautiful maidservants who served tea and snacks. Among the barbarians, there are very few people who want to find a beautiful woman.

Not to mention the fair-skinned and beautiful maids, and these maids look extremely polite.

These maids knew at a glance that they had been raised and taught since childhood.

Ma Liang, Zhang Miao waited quietly for a moment, and soon after, a sound of footsteps sounded. A middle-aged man walked in from outside, and after the middle-aged man walked in, several maidservants in the lobby bowed to the middle-aged man, and then retreated in an orderly manner.

"In Xia Xiaoming, I have seen Mr. Ma and Mr. Zhang." As soon as the middle-aged man entered the lobby, he bowed to Ma Liang and Zhang Miao.

"King Xiao." Ma Liang, Zhang Miao immediately straightened his waist and returned the salute.

After that, this Xiao Ming started to sit down on the throne in the north. Xiao Ming is fair-skinned and dignified, with a slender figure, wearing a Liu crown and a white brocade robe, with a graceful bearing.

This man is also the barbarian king Shamoko.

Xiao Ming is a Chinese name.
