Jianning five years, July

Yulin County, Jiaozhou,

As its name suggests, there are many plants and trees in the territory, it is an important timber production area of the Han Dynasty, but it is also the area with the most mountain people in the whole Jiaozhou, the so-called mountain people, also known as Shanyue, their appearance and speech, are similar to the Han people, but they occupy the mountains and forests, and do not want to go out of the mountains to pay taxes, so they are mostly called mountain people, among Jiaozhou, there are countless mountain people, especially Yulin County, Hepu County and other counties adjacent to Yangzhou.

And in Yangzhou, it is also distributed everywhere, but the scale is still concentrated in Huiji County and Nanhai County, these two places are sparsely populated, and adjacent to Jiaozhou, mountain people live here more, if Yangzhou encircled and suppressed, they hid in Jiaozhou, if Jiaozhou encircled and suppressed, they hid in Yangzhou, they are also mainly agricultural, planting grain, and because of the copper and iron out of the mountain, and often cast their own armor.

The local officials were also helpless against it, and often went to the temple to ask for a heavy crusade, but they were never taken seriously by the emperor.

In an unknown mountain forest in Yulin County, the flames are burning, this is a bonfire piled up by the mountain people, the flames will illuminate the whole night, hundreds of thousands of mountain people men and women, are dancing around the bonfire, singing, everyone is eating wine, dancing, extremely happy, laughter and laughter, dozens of people, are sitting in the distance, and this atmosphere, incompatible.

"I don't think it's okay to do this, could it be that you have all forgotten Han Chi Ghost?!"

A short and sturdy man dressed in animal skin, stared at a pair of round eyes, hurriedly shook his head, seeing him like this, several people around him were also chatting privately, these seventeen people are the marshal of the large and small mountain people in Jiaozhou and Yangzhou, among them, there are people wearing animal skins like this man, and there are also people wearing Hanfu and crowns, they are sitting here, but they are invited by You Tuchi, the most powerful among the mountain people, so they came.

Just now, You Tuchi told them very simply that they wanted to unite the mountain people and go to Yangzhou to get grain and grass, but as soon as this word came out, they were vetoed, they cultivated their own crops, as long as the Han emperor didn't come to them for trouble, why did they go to grab any grain and grass? The grain they grow themselves will be able to feed themselves!

"Hey, that Han Chi ghost has been dead for hundreds of years, what are you afraid of?!"

"Could it be that your clan's harvest this year is enough to satisfy your stomach?!"

There is a shout, this Han Chi ghost, is the Han said in the period of Emperor Xiaowu, this person was edicted by the emperor, crusaded against Baiyue, killed countless enemies, and because of his love for wearing a red helmet, he was called Han Chi ghost by Baiyue at that time, and even worshipped, after Xiaowu pacified Baiyue, he set up Dan'er, Zhuya, Nanhai, Cangwu, Yulin, Hepu, Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, Rinan and other nine counties.

And these Baiyue and the migratory Han people live together and merge, and every year there are a lot of Han people who evade and pay taxes to join, and finally there is Shanyue, Shanyue is not a nation, he is the product of the integration of several ethnic groups, they were originally unwilling to provoke the Han court, but when today's Zi implements the Mintun, migration, a large number of Haoqiang, Tun people poured into Yangzhou, Jiaozhou, and further oppressed their living range.

In recent years, the climate has been extraordinarily cold, and their grain harvest has become lower and lower, looking at the people not far away from the tun people returning with a full load, the various granaries are full of grain, and some people are beginning to be red-eyed, so the power is the largest, there are more than 30,000 clansmen, of course, among them, there are only 10,000 young and strong, but among these mountain people, his power is already very large.

Everyone frowned, speechless, thinking.

You Tuchi said helplessly: "I know, you are afraid, indeed, if we raise an army to attack, we will definitely not be the opponent of the Han Court, but this year's harvest is really enough for our clansmen to survive until next year?" Look at the dancing kids! If they don't think about it, they will have a few left next year??! ”

Everyone frowned, they were silent, You Tuchi sighed helplessly, and said: "We don't want to attack the county, we only need to lay down those granaries and take some away, so that we can survive this year, if you don't want to, I won't force you, but, I hope you don't reveal our plans to the Han Court for the sake of the same Baiyue!" ”

Everyone was silent, they all thought about it, and suddenly, one of them got up and said, "I'd rather be killed by the Han court than starve to death, I'm willing to go with the sect commander!" Several people around also responded, they were almost ready to die in battle, only the few men in Han family clothes were still hesitating, they were all wealthy and powerful families who escaped taxes and fled into the mountains and forests.

Born as Han people, they know the combat effectiveness of the Han court better than these Baiyue descendants, and they also know that if they seriously anger the Son of Heaven, there will be two terrorist armies called the Northern Army and the Southern Army, and they will come to conduct a S against them, but they hesitate, this year's harvest is very poor, if you are afraid, you are afraid that you will starve to death!

"Father! Why not join the Han Court?? ”

"I look at the land of Yangzhou, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty also migrated people from all over the country to enrich the households, if we are attached to the surrender, the Son of Heaven will definitely not let us starve to death!" A young mountaineer stood up, he was different from You Tuchi, he was wearing a Han robe and a crown, but he was not a Han Chinese, his name was You Tuchi, he was the only son of You Tuchi, and he was also a strong man with some brave names in Jiaoyang Shanyue.

You Tuchi frowned, and said with some displeasure: "You don't have any trilogy sectarians, what qualifications do you have to speak here?" Retire! ”

You Tu was reluctant to leave, and continued: "I heard that when the son is merciful today, a dry tax has been abolished, and the field tax is even lower, so instead of asking for our own death, why don't we go along?" You Tuchi got up abruptly and punched him in the face, You Tuchi was on the ground, You Tuchi stared at him and said, "We have been fighting with Han Ting for a long time, how can Han Ting spare us?!" ”

You Tu wiped the blood from his mouth, stood up again, and roared: "In the past, how about the Han Court and the Huns? Now it is not to accept the Xiongnu as a people, and to fight with foreign countries, the Hun cavalry thinks that it is the envoy, what about us?! You don't know anything! It will only ruin the entire Baiyue! For a while, there were also many people around him, standing facing his father's faction.

You Tuchi looked at him, his face was pale, he clenched his teeth, You Tu pulled out his sword from his waist, looked at him, and said, "Father, I can't let you destroy Baiyue!" I'm going to challenge you! You Tuchi sneered, slowly escaped from his waist, pointed at You Tu, and the two jumped to the middle, and those who wore animal skins jumped around them one after another, holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, and began to strike.

And those Han people were not like this, looking at them indifferently, with some disdain in their eyes.

It's just that You Tu's words gave them some reminders, raising troops against the Han Dynasty, this is completely death, they will not follow, then, in order not to starve to death, they may only be able to serve the Han Court, but I don't know if he said that today's taxes are low or not? If it were true, they could have done what they did! They each looked at each other, and each had their own thoughts in their hearts.

Father and son, sword in hand, stood facing each other.

You Tu rushed towards his father, the long sword in his hand stabbed towards his abdomen, and the sword in You Tu's red hand also stabbed straight towards his neck, without any flinching, it seemed that both of them were desperate to kill each other, but when the two sides were about to be swords, You Tu was still afraid, he threw the sword in his hand, and jumped more than half a step away!

The battle between the two people, within one move, there was a victory, but You Tuchi didn't seem to intend to let go of his son, he slammed a sword on You Tu's chest, You Tu screamed, fell to the ground, You Tuchi shouted in Baiyue language: "Attached?!" The pre-Qin tyrant destroyed our ancestors! He slashed another sword across You Tu's back, "The same goes for Han Ting!" ”

A sword slashed across his face.

"Are you worthy of the Baiyue Ancestors?!"

"Huh!"

"Have you seen Ge You old man bowing his head?"

"Huh!"

"Why are you afraid in battle?!"

A series of swords, slashing You Tu until he fainted, he stopped, looked at everyone, everyone got up suddenly, he said: "Go back and gather the people, fifteen days later, gather together and Huiji, and attack the granary of Mintun!" Because of the ruthlessness of his talent, everyone was afraid, and they all bowed their heads and said yes, until everyone left, You Tu Chi sighed, and asked the doctor to treat You Tu.

On that day, those Shanyue chieftains went out separately, and some did go back to greet the strong, conduct drills, and refine iron tools, thinking that they were used for war, but some directly led the people out of the mountains and forests, bound themselves to the local government to surrender, and informed the local officials of the news that General You Tuchi and the troops would be sent out on the 15th day, and the local officials were at first disdainful of these fugitive mountain people, but when they heard that they were going to gather a crowd to attack the granary, they were shocked and hurriedly reported to the temple.

In the fifth year of Jianning, in July, Huiji County reported urgently, and the head of the Shanyue thieves, You Tuchi, intended to plunder Huiji County.

The local officials were shocked, and Liu You, the assassin of Yangzhou, hurriedly convened the county officials from all over the country, gathered outside many county towns in Huiji County, and asked for help from the surrounding Jiaozhou and Jingzhou.

Note: Shanyue is considered to be the descendants of Baiyue, but most of them are Han people, just occupy the mountain as the king, in addition, they seem to have some relationship with Sanmiao, of course, this basis was proposed by the great Confucian Zheng Xuan at that time, he may be the first Confucian to associate Jiuli with Miao and Baiyue, of course, later generations do not agree with the Five Emperors Benji based on Zheng Xuan's commentary.

Note: Ge Chi You Lao is not a typo, Ge Chi means grandfather, You Lao means hero, and it is suspected that it is related to Chi You worship.
