Chapter 225: Barbarian Controversy
Fifty miles outside Langzhong County, at this time, thousands of barbarians are gathering here, but they don't know whether to attack at this moment, or take it as an ordinary opportunity, the leaders of the seven surnamed Qu Shuai above them have their own words, but the barbarians who have always been looking at the seven surnames of Ban Yu are at a loss.
The barbarian's camp is said to be a big camp, but it is just not like the barracks at all, compared to when Fuquan led the troops to level the barbarians, the barbarians established the camp is simpler, and there is not even a military flag, that is, hundreds of camp tents are piled together in an orderly manner, which also shows that the barbarians suffered the loss of the last sneak attack, and also paid attention to camp planning.
Then this barbarian camp does not restrict the activities of the barbarians in the camp, they can enter and exit freely in the camp, but they can't leave the camp, and they can't have any entanglements and contradictions with the Han people, and even they are the same as usual, singing and dancing are fine, as long as they don't leave the barracks. It's strange that the army doesn't look like an army, and the rally doesn't look like a rally.
Qin Mi, who was dressed in a Han official uniform, walked calmly to the barbarian camp, but the two county officials behind him did not have Qin Mi's calmness at the moment, looking at the barbarian soldiers guarding the camp with strong crossbow wooden shields, and the tens of millions of barbarian troops in the barbarian camp, thinking of the purpose of their coming, his heart was already trembling.
At this moment, the two little officials secretly said that they were really unlucky, they were assigned to go to this barbarian village with the five senses of Taishou's cronies and Qin Mi, and I don't know if they can save their lives this time, they wanted to escape, but this is Taishou's life, if they escape, they can't say that they will be convicted for this, after all, they are natives of Ba County, and their family members are in the county, can they be easily taken away?
Forget it, even if the barbarians rebel, they will tell them well, believing that if they don't anger those barbarians, they should not lose their lives.
It's just that before the two of them had time to think about how to persuade the leader of the Ban Yuman, they were completely shocked by the words of the official in front of them.
"The angel of the Han Dynasty, Bajun Taishou has guarded his facial features and come from afar to see the commander of Ban Yu, so that the leader of the seven surnames will come to see him quickly!" When they arrived in front of the barbarian camp, seeing that a barbarian guarding the gate waved his hand to stop their group of three, Qin Mi immediately became a big underdog.
"This ......" The few barbarians guarding the door certainly understood what Qin Mi said, although it seemed that the barbarians were gathering now, which was extremely incomparable, but who knew what the Qu Shuai above meant? The army gathered and did not attack, just here to waste, after thinking about it, an elderly barbarian asked Qin Mi and the three of them to wait, and went into the camp to report by himself.
At this time, the barbarian tent had already been noisy, and dozens of barbarian nobles wearing various barbarian costumes were overwhelmed by this sudden assembly, and the most fierce quarrel for the leader was Gong Su, and the other person was Du Kang. Sitting next to them were dozens of Qu Shuai with the surname of Ban Yu.
Since Liu Bang issued an edict at that time to exempt the seven surnames of Ban Yu Man, Luo, Pu, Zhan, Du, Xi, and Gong from the taxes of Qu Shuai, these seven surnames still firmly control the control of this Ban Man. Of course, the barbarians in the tent are not the only ones with these seven surnames, after all, there are always outstanding people in the development of the tribe who can be recognized by the barbarians, but after all, they are only a minority, and most of the people in the tent are from those seven surnames.
The dozens of people in this middle account can be said to control everything of more than 100,000 people in the Ban Man, since the Han Dynasty gave them territory autonomy, all the movements of the Ban Yu Man clan were only determined by their discussion.
The policy of granting foreign territory to them a high degree of autonomy, the so-called fetters system, has existed since ancient times, and the Han Dynasty was not exempt from vulgarity, and even both Han and Han Dynasty used this system as an aid to frontier policy. Sima Xiangru's "Difficult Shu Fathers" has a saying: "Gaiwen the Son of Heaven's Mu Yi Di Ye, its righteousness is not endless", and even the famous Eastern Han Dynasty scholar Ban Gu's "Book of Han" in the Xiongnu biography is even more said: "Its Mu Yi and contribution, then followed by courtesy, restraint, so that the song is in the other, cover the holy king system to resist the barbarian common way", it can be seen that the Western Han Dynasty used the system of enveloping Huairou for naturalizing aliens, so that later the northern army's Yue cavalry, Tun cavalry and other Han Dynasty central armies wantonly levied and naturalized aliens.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were too few local standing armies, and the frontier battles directly rewarded money and food, so that foreign races directly became servant armies. However, this kind of system is good for the country to prosper, if the country is empty, after all, it is to raise tigers, in the last years of the two Han Dynasty, all kinds of foreign rebellions are proof, and even the later Wuhu Chaohua, there is no reason why the Han people are spied on by the alien races who have controlled the frontier?
Du Kang had been separated from Luo Zhan since the last time he was defeated by Fu Quan's army against Luo Zhan, and eventually he went south with the remnants of his army to Jiangzhou to join the barbarian army there. It's just that when he converged with the Jiangzhou barbarian army and was about to attack Jiangzhou County with the Ban Yu barbarian Qu Shuai commanded there, he heard the bad news that Fu Quan led the troops to Langzhong, and like the other Qu Shuai, they were all shocked, thinking of the old and young in Langzhong's family, they immediately gave up and continued to attack Jiangzhou City, and rushed to Langzhong, the old nest of the Ban Yu barbarians.
Needless to say, when the Han army occupied Langzhong County, the barbarians were not enough to break the city, and when the two sides were at a stalemate, Gong Su, as a famous sage of Ban Yu, entered the barbarian camp and surrendered, and most of the war-weary leaders of the seven surnames chose to believe in the "dragon" Fuquan who slaughtered the prisoner because of Gong Su's fame. In the end, the barbarians surrendered, and some of the leaders of the seven surnames swore an alliance with Fuquan to surrender to the Han Dynasty after seeing that Fuquan was indeed not as wantonly and indiscriminately killing prisoners as they thought.
Of course, all this has nothing to do with some barbarians, because some barbarians who refused to surrender to the Han Dynasty fled when most of the barbarians chose to surrender, and were later exterminated by Fuquan's orders, but after all, there were fish that slipped through the net. After all, some barbarians are hiding in the deep mountains and forests, and no matter how capable the Han army is, it is impossible to search for those hidden barbarians one by one in the vast mountains and forests all over Shu, and this Dukang is one of the barbarians who refuse to surrender.
The reason why the barbarians gathered abnormally this time was that Du Kang saw that the rumors had passed, and secretly sneaked back into the Banyu barbarians, and together with some other barbarian figures in the Banyu Barbarian Qushuai family who still wanted to rebel against the Han, they wanted to persuade the seven nobles with the surname Banyu to rebel against the Han Dynasty again.
And the reason why the barbarians only gathered this time, but did not have any superfluous actions, is also for a reason, because among the five or six thousand people who gathered, there are only more than a thousand barbarians who really want to continue to rebel towards Du Kang and others, and only more than a thousand barbarians obey orders, and the others are the soldiers and horses of the barbarian Qu Shuai nobles who do not want to rebel or remain neutral.
In order to make any decision before the end of this discussion about the future development of the Ban Yu Barbarians, it will not harm the interests of the barbarians, so there is such an abnormal situation in the barracks now. Anyway, if they don't rebel, then they will tell the Han Dynasty that it is just a barbarian amusement rally, after all, they did not raise the flag to rebel, and if they rebel, the barbarian army in these camps can instantly use their wooden shields and crossbows to organize a rebel army to continue to wreak havoc on Ba County.
At this moment, I only heard Du Kang shouting: "The Han people killed tens of thousands of our people before, how can this revenge not be avenged?" ”
"What's the use of retribution? When we rebelled against the Han, we killed many Han people, and now that we have returned to the Han again, we will naturally let go of our grievances, how can we rebel? "Gong Su helped Ban Yu to surrender to the Han Dynasty, how could he let Du Kang be so destructive, and immediately replied.
"Gong Shibo, don't you forget who you are? Luo was seriously injured before the war, and he is still bedridden, and my barbarians have been bullied by the Han Dynasty, how can they surrender to the Han Dynasty like this? ”
"Who am I?" Gong Su heard that this junior actually contradicted him like this, and immediately said angrily: "The Han Dynasty has tens of millions of people, and how many people do I have?" If you don't descend at this time, wait for the clan to be wiped out? ”
Looking at Du Kang on the opposite side and constantly instigating the barbarians to rebel, Gong Su was indignant in his heart, originally he surrendered his clansmen, and made an oath with Fuquan to surrender to the Han Dynasty, but he didn't expect this escaped Du Kang to come back to stir up the situation. He knew that after the rebellion of the barbarians in front, many nobles in the clan had changed their minds about the previous rebellion because of the weak soldiers of the Han people and the looting of a lot of property, and they all had the idea that the Han emperor in the world could sit down, and they barbarians couldn't get it? Even if they can't get this world, it doesn't hurt to let them sit in Yizhou or Ba County, and this Dukang is one of them, and his so-called excuse for avenging his people is just an excuse for him to realize his idea.
The tent suddenly became quiet because of Gong Su's anger, and even Du Kang calmed down, after all, with Gong Su's reputation and seniority, he really couldn't control him.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the tent, and then I saw a soldier running into the tent and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the envoy of the Han Dynasty outside the camp asks to see him, and he claims to be the Taishou of Bajun. ”
As soon as the words came out, everyone was shocked and looked at each other, they didn't know much about the official positions of the Han people, of course they didn't know what the position of the five senses was, but they didn't know that Bajun Taishou didn't know that it was the "Dragon" Fuquan who defeated the barbarian army repeatedly, how could he come? Could it be that he already knew that the barbarians were moving and were coming with troops?
In an instant, one bad thought after another appeared in their minds, at this time there were thousands of people in their camp, if Fuquan ordered tens of thousands of Han troops to kill, what should they do? The rebels are terrified, while those who don't want to rebel are thinking about how to clear their suspicions, after all, they also bring people together, and it is difficult to tell whether they have abnormal thoughts in their hearts.
Among the present, there was only one person who was as calm as ever, and that was Gong Su, even Du Kang, who had been clamoring for rebellion, was not as arrogant as before at the moment. His eyes were frightened, obviously he couldn't believe that Fu Quan could get the news so quickly, didn't he say that he was still in Jiangzhou County? Why did you suddenly come to Langzhong County?
If Qin Mi entered the camp at this time and saw the leaders of the barbarians with various expressions, he must have been very proud in his heart, because he deliberately raised the name of Fuquan, just to scare these barbarians in advance, with Fuquan's previous record of defeating the barbarians, these barbarian leaders were naturally terrified by the name of Fuquan. He reported in advance to let these barbarians know, just to shock the barbarians first and provide favorable prerequisites for his subsequent negotiations.
Otherwise, in front of the barbarian camp just now, Qin Mi directly said, "The angel of the Han Dynasty has come to see the leader of the barbarian canal", and he would not mention the name of Fuquan at all.
Gong Su glanced around at the seven surnamed Qu Shuai nobles in this tent, and then fixed his eyes on the face of Du Kang, who was shocked, and said: "Fu Taishou is coming at this time, he must be in person, the army of Bajun is not far from here, what else do you say?" If you rebel, flee quickly, the seven surnames of Ban Yu do not kill the same clan, if the Han Dynasty army arrives, how can you live? ”
I originally hoped that Du Kang would stop and stop thinking about things that shouldn't be thought about, but Gong Su was wrong, once a person is crazy, he will not change his original intention. I saw that Du Kang was strong and calm: "My army has only been gathered for a few days, how can Fuquan know?" It must be the Han people who deceive you, and you will not be able to believe it. ”
"Humph!" Gong Su snorted coldly, and secretly said that this madman is unrepentant, and he is still stubborn. There are more than 100,000 barbarians, how can they fight with the Han Dynasty? What's more, now that they have just sworn to surrender, how many of the clansmen will be willing to rebel again? Now the people gathered here are all Qu Shuai's henchmen, of course, they are gathered under the command, but if they really rebel against the Han again, it is estimated that some of these henchmen are reluctant, after all, it is rare to settle down and continue to enjoy the previous low-tax life, how many will be willing to carry their heads to fight the powerful Han Dynasty?
"Let the angels of the Han Dynasty enter the account."
After Qin Mi walked into the middle tent of the barbarians, he deliberately glanced at the barbarians in the tent, and then saluted everyone and said, "Bajun Wuguan Peng Qin Ziyi has seen all the marshals. ”
Gong Su asked, "I don't know why Mr. is here?" ”
"When Fu Taishou heard about the civil strife in Banyu, he was anxious, and he led more than 10,000 troops to help." Qin Mi said.
The Han army is coming?
So fast?
……
In the middle tent, with Qin Mi's seemingly random message, he suddenly fell into calm, and many barbarians were shocked, the secret Han people came so quickly, they were really caught off guard, could it be that Fuquan really knew that they were going to rebel?
