The people in the tent were amazed at Shamoko's respect.

It must be known that when Guan Yu governed Jingzhou, the Han Dynasty did not have much contact with the Wuling barbarians, and probably adhered to the attitude that the river water did not interfere with the well water.

Everyone thought that the barbarians were willing to help, but it was only for the sake of the gift of gold beads.

If he behaves in a more unruly manner, it is easier to accept; I don't want Shamoko to behave so respectfully, obviously I am sincerely surrendering.

Liu Bei is a character who is not suspicious of people and does not use suspicious people, and he couldn't hold it for a while, and there was a faint hint of suspicion on his face.

Although Shamoko is a barbarian, since he can become the leader of various tribes, how can he be a person with developed limbs and a simple mind? Seeing this, he hurriedly explained:

"The Wu people are cruel and insidious, and the ministers are truly obedient to the king......"

Jiang Wei listened to it for a long time, and finally understood.

It turned out that the Wuling barbarian clan came to vote and traced back to the source, which was caused by the policy of Eastern Wu towards the border people.

South of the Yangtze River, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, and Jiaozhou, the border people other than the Han are roughly divided into three categories: "Shanyue", "Wulingman", and "Nanyue".

Because the population of Jiangnan was sparse, it was difficult to fight against the densely populated north, and after Sun Quan took over, he mainly conquered Shanyue in the deep danger zone to expand the population and army, and adopted the policy of "the strong are soldiers, and the poor are supplemented", that is, the strong are the soldiers, and the weak are the people.

The most famous person in the conquest of Shanyue was Lu Xun, who made it clear that the main purpose of the crusade against Shanyue was to expand the army. He alone obtained tens of thousands of elite soldiers from Shanyue.

For example, the total number of troops obtained by other generals He Qi, Han Dang, Jiang Qin, Ling Tong, Zhu Huan, etc., is at least more than 100,000; As for the number of people who use it to supplement the household, there are naturally more.

This is one of the main reasons why Sun Wu was able to establish a country in the south of the Yangtze River, but he became stronger and stronger.

In history, the Yue people and the barbarians were at war and had a complicated relationship, but they had one thing in common - they were not Han Chinese. When faced with the infestation of the Han Chinese, the positions and attitudes of the two ethnic groups tend to be the same.

Wuling Man saw that the Yue people were exterminated and countless people were exterminated, and he couldn't help but feel that things hurt them, and he became more and more disgusted with the plundering policy of Eastern Wu.

When Guan Yu was in Jingzhou, he was bent on dealing with Cao Wei in the north, and his attitude towards Manyue was probably that the well water did not interfere with the river water.

At this time, the military peak of Eastern Wu has arrived close to Wuling County, if the Shu Han forces completely withdraw, then will the clan also face the tragic fate of Shanyue?

Comparing the two, it is naturally clear which is better and which is bad, and it is naturally obvious which side to choose to turn to.

Although Shamoke is not particularly proficient in Chinese, fortunately, Wenbu is on the side to translate and explain, and after some comparison, Liu Bei is suspicious.

He was overjoyed, and personally got up to help Shamoke up, and said with a smile: "It's rare that Sha Qing has this heart." This time, you and I have the same hatred and hatred, and we will definitely be able to make Sun Quan suffer some hardships! ”

At this time, Fa Zheng walked out from under the curtain and asked slowly: "Dare to ask General Sha, how long will it take for your army to gather?" ”

Seeing that he was talking about business, Shamoke's spirit was shocked, and he replied loudly: "You can gather in three or five days." ”

"The combat power of the Wuxi army is compared to our army?"

Hearing this, Shamoke's brows furrowed slightly. When he came, along the way, he had already seen the armor equipment of the Han army, the essence was dazzling, the air conditioning was clear, and the craftsmanship of the Han people in forging weapons and armor was naturally beyond the reach of barbarians.

But he didn't want to weaken his momentum, and after a little thought, he patted his chest and said: "Although the equipment is not as sophisticated as your army, the warriors of our clan have crossed the mountains and mountains, such as walking on the flat ground, everyone can be a hundred, and they are not afraid of death!" ”

Fa Zheng nodded slightly, and said to Liu Bei: "My lord, now that Lu Xun can't shrink, it is difficult to break through the frontal battlefield." The minister thought that while the army was grasping the construction of siege weapons, it could send a Wuxi barbarian army as the vanguard, go over the mountains and go around to the Jingnan counties, and first receive the loyal and brave soldiers who should be on the spot and swear not to surrender. ”

Guan Yu continued: "Yes, there is news that the brothers Xi Zhen and Xi Hong, the commanders in the north of Lingling, originally pretended to surrender to Wu and thieves, and when they heard that the army of the lord was coming, they immediately raised the people of the seven counties to oppose Wu. Although they were invaded by Wu thieves, the two brothers led hundreds of people to climb the mountain to defend themselves, swearing not to surrender. ”

Liu Bei bowed his head and said, "Yes, Yun Chang's words are reasonable. ”

He paused, turned to Shamoke, and asked, "Sha Qing, you are alone in leading the people of the headquarters to pick up Xi Zhen and Xi Hong, are you willing?" ”

Shamoko clenched his fists and said loudly: "What's so difficult about this? And in ten days thou shalt bring them safely to the Lord's tent. ”

In the face of Shamoke's confidence, Liu Bei praised it greatly, and said to Fa Zheng: "Let the soldiers rest for a while in the next few days, and wait until ten days later, after the army is ready, and the siege equipment is prepared for Zhou Xiang, and then we will have a showdown with Lu Xun!" ”

******

On the same day, Jiangling City in Jingzhou, the former general's mansion of Guan Yu, and Wu Hou's temporary trip.

Sun Quan was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a sword hanging from his waist, sitting high in the main hall, looking proud and complacent.

Since that day, when he and Lü Meng planned to attack Jingzhou in Jianye, Sun Quan has been particularly concerned about the situation in Jingzhou.

After Lü Meng set out on the expedition, he personally sat in Wuchang City in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.

When he got the news that Lü Meng had attacked Jiangling, he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, personally led 30,000 Chinese troops, and gathered generals along the road to gather 70,000 land and water troops.

It had been more than ten days since Sun Quan arrived in Gangneung City. In the first few days of his arrival, he almost only did one thing - to persuade Pan Jun to be engaged in the former Jingzhou Zhizhong.

Soon after Lü Meng seized Jingzhou, most of the generals who originally belonged to Shu Han surrendered one after another, but Pan Jun, who was engaged in Zhizhong, said that he was ill and refused to surrender.

Pan Jun is a famous man in Jingzhou, known for his intelligence, and his relationship with all the forces in the territory is good.

Guan Yu's Northern Expedition, Ma Liang was a counselor of the army, and he was actually in charge of the affairs of the rear of Jingzhou.

If this person is willing to surrender, it will be very useful to stabilize the newly acquired situation in Jingzhou; He could also use his previous position to quickly establish a new Jingzhou regime under the rule of Eastern Wu. Therefore, Sun Quan really wanted to use Pan Jun.

It's just that Liu Bei and Guan Yu treat Pan Jun well, Pan Jun said that he was sick and didn't see him, and obviously he also had the heart of being loyal to the two masters.

Sun Quan then sent someone to his house and carried him back on a bed.

Pan Jun lay on the bed and didn't want to get up, tears streaming down his face, choking with sadness and unable to help himself.

Sun Quan cited the ancient Chu Wen and Chu Wu kings, two Chu sages named Guan Dingfu and Peng Zhongshuang, who were born as captives, to comfort him, and asked his left and right relatives to take towels to wipe away the tears on his cheeks.

Under Sun Quan's repeated persuasion, Pan Jun finally went down to thank him and bowed his head.

Pan Jun not only told Sun Quan about Jingzhou's military and personnel deployment without reservation, but also offered the first strategy enough to stabilize the situation - to contact the wealthy families in Jingzhou, thinking that Wu Hou would use it.

According to his words: "Dozens of miles between Xiangyang and Yicheng are called 'Guan Geli', and dozens of officials with more than 2,000 stones have settled here, among which seven are the most famous: Pang, Huang, Cai, Kuai, Ma, Xi, and Yang. ”

According to Pan Jun's introduction, before and after the Battle of Chibi, these seven forces had been scraped clean by Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and most of them had Pang, Ma, Xi, and Yang defected to Liu Bei; Cai and Kuai returned to Cao Cao; The Huang family remained neutral; And the Huang family is the first wealthy family that Wu Hou should strive for.

In addition, he also listed some medium-sized local wealthy families outside the seven great families, and pointed out that this is also the goal that Wu Hou should actively strive for.

Sun Quan listened carefully and asked: "Guan Yu has governed Jingzhou for a long time, and his power is deep-rooted, and the wealthy family is afraid that it will be difficult to surrender to loneliness. ”

Pan Jun replied: "Mencius said: It is not difficult to be in government, and you must not offend the giant room. The admiration of a giant room, the admiration of a country; What a country admires, the world admires, so AEC morality overflows all over the world. ”

"And the sinner looks at the rule of the prince and the prince, and the villain is valued and the gentleman is despised by the gentleman, which can be described as the opposite. But where taxes are levied, large households are the most important; However, there are civil but litigation disputes, and their judgments are mostly biased towards small people. Over the years, the wealthy families of Jingzhou have many complaints about the monarch and marquis. ”

"The lord only needs to show favor to the families, and the criminal ministers are willing to wander in the middle, so that within half a month, the land of Nanjun can be passed on!"

Sun Quan stroked his palms and laughed: "Lonely hearing Chengming (Pan Junzi) is like seeing the sun through the clouds!" ”

It can be regarded as a return for the peach, Sun Quan immediately appointed Pan Jun as the governor and handed over all the affairs in Jingzhou to him to show complete convincing.

Pan Jun also lived up to Sun Quan's expectations, and went hard, and a few days later, Wu Hou Xingyuan was in the city, all of them were visiting Sun Quan's wealthy families.

Nanjun was removed, but Wuling and Lingling, which were a little farther away, still rebelled and fell out.

Fan Ling, the Wuling of the Shu Han Dynasty, responded to the call of the king of Hanzhong and encouraged the locals to rise up in Wuling, which was quite popular.

Sun Quan's subordinates suggested that at least 10,000 horses should be enough to levy. Sun Quan did not make a decision on the spot, but went to ask Pan Jun.

Pan Jun said: "Fan Lingben is a native of Nanyang, and in the past, he set up a banquet for the people of the state, and in the middle of the solstice, the food has not yet been prepared. Therefore, the minister sees that this person is quite capable of lip kisses, but he has no talent for debate. Capture them with 5,000 soldiers! ”

Sun Quan laughed and accepted his words, worshiped him as a lieutenant general of the auxiliary army, and led 5,000 troops.

As a result, as Pan Jun said, the 5,000-strong army marched day and night, and Keriguo was cut down.

In the more than ten days that Sun Quan sat in Jiangling, with the dedicated assistance of Pan Jun, the leading party, the wealthy family returned to their hearts, and the three counties of Jingzhou Nanjun, Wuling, and Lingling were gradually pacified, and except for sporadic rebellions, no force could shake the rule of Eastern Wu in the local area.

The internal problem has basically been eliminated.

As a result, Sun Quan's eyes began to shift to Liu Bei and Cao Cao.

At this time, Lu Xun's battle report from the Pavilion was quietly placed on his desk.

Lu Xun said in the letter that the Shu army began to supervise the construction of heavy siege equipment, and feared that more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the headquarters would be difficult to fight, so he asked Wu Hou to send 10,000 reinforcements for later use.
