Chapter Twenty-Three: The Wuxi Barbarians

Before taking Yuannan, Pei Qian, Xu Shu and Sima Zhi had already taken Xiaoling, Zuo Tang and Hanshou, Pei Qian's army had just approached the county seat of Xiaoling, and the commander of Xiaoling County saw that it was powerful, so he immediately surrendered on his knees.

As for Hanshou, because Hanshou County ordered Pan Wei and Pan Jun to be of the same clan, and they were also friends of the New Year, they surrendered immediately after getting Pan Jun's handwriting.

Xu Shu's strategy is very simple, it is directly a threat of force, tell the other party, Wuling Taishou Jinxuan has surrendered, tens of thousands of troops have fallen from the sky, if the other party continues to resist, wait for the day the city is broken, the county officials and officials belong to all three clans, because the Tang Dynasty is surrounded by Xiaoling and Hanshou, now it is almost a Jedi, plus Xu Shu's threat, as the Tang County Order immediately announced surrender.

After Liu Qi and Pang Tong heard Xu Shu's strategy, they all admired it in their hearts, and secretly thought that Jiang was still old and spicy, and they couldn't accept it.

Liu Qi stayed in Ban and Gan Ning to guard Yuannan, and he took Pang Tong to Wuling to preside over the overall situation. After coming to Wuling, I found that Wei Yan was not there, only Pan Jun. Busy asking the reason, but heard Pan Jun say that Wei Yan led 3,000 soldiers and horses soon after taking Wuling

Due to the recovery of the five counties of Xiaoling, Zuotang, Hanshou, Linyuan and Yuannan, coupled with the persuasion of Jin Xuan, the other counties also knew that Wuling had regained the rule of Jingzhou and announced their surrender. After just half a month, other counties announced their surrender, including Lingyang, Chongxian, Youyang, Qianling, Yuanling, Chenyang and Rongcheng, a total of seven counties.

In this way, Liu Qi recovered the entire Wuling County in less than a month, and the prestige shook the entire Jingnan four counties for a while, and when the news reached Xiangyang, even Kuai Yue was pleasantly surprised.

And Cai Mao was angry: "What? This waste actually subdued Wuling so quickly? I don't know how Jin Xuan, a stupid guy, arranged his troops? Are his soldiers papier-mΓ’chΓ©? ”

After thinking about it for a while, Cai Mao sneered again: "And let him be proud for a while, it's just a small Wuling County, and the total number of people in the whole county is only 250,000, which is not as good as a big county, what is there to boast about?" What's more, there are many barbarians in Wuling, and with a little trickery, you can be attacked by the barbarians, and Wuling County, which you have managed to get your hands on, will be lost again, and then see how you explain to the old man? The old man will join you again for the crime of delaying the military plane, even if you don't die, you will definitely be deprived of military power, I think at that time, is Kuai Yue's old face still so proud today? ”

After Cai Mao returned home, he secretly ordered his henchmen, disguised as the envoy of Changsha Zhang Xian, carried a lot of money, and quickly went to Wuxi to meet the leader of the Wuxi barbarians, so that he could quickly send troops, "Help Changsha Zhang Taishou to repel the strong enemy, and wait for the future court to reward meritorious deeds, and be the first meritorious servant of the noble department." ”

The henchman took the order and left, pretending to be a merchant, and the road was unimpeded, and it took less than a month to come to Wuxi, meet the leader of the Wuxi barbarians, Shamoke, express his intentions, and offer the gift money.

The barbarians have coveted Wuling for a long time, and now when they see that the other party has given a gift, they are naturally happy in their hearts, and immediately agree to come down, dispatch generals, and within ten days, they will command the army of Kou Luocheng, Chenyang, Qianling, and Youyang four counties.

The four county commanders were shocked, and immediately deployed to defend the city on the one hand, and warned Wuling on the other.

At this time, Liu Qi was reorganizing his troops and horses, preparing to attack Changsha ambitiously, capturing the traitor leader Zhang Xian, and after hearing the news, he couldn't help but temporarily stop the military operation, and summoned Xu Shu, Yu Ban, Wei Yan, Pei Qian, Sima Zhi and others together to discuss countermeasures.

Liu Qi flipped through the information about the barbarians that Jin Xuan had dedicated to him, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"The Xi Gaoxin clan has a dog Rong, and the emperor suffers from its invasion, and the conquest is not restrained. It is to visit the world, and there are those who can get the head of General Wu, the general of the dog Rong, to buy thousands of gold and Yi, and to marry a girl. When the emperor had a dog, its hair was five-picked, and its name was Pang. After the order was given, Pan Gu then made a head of the people, and the ministers were strange and diagnosed, and it was the head of General Wu. The emperor is overjoyed, and Ji Pan can't be a wife and a daughter, and there is no way to be knighted, so he wants to be rewarded but he doesn't know what to do. When the woman heard this, she thought that the emperor had ordered that she should not disobey it, because she asked for it. The emperor had no choice but to use a female match. ……”

"After three years, twelve sons, six boys and six girls, were born. After the death of Pan Gu, because of his husband and wife. Woven wood veneer, dyed with grass, good five-color clothes. Sanctions all have a tail shape. ……”

"After that, it was called a barbarian. Outside the idiot and inside, the land is old. With the merit of her father, the daughter of the mother emperor, and the Tian as a Jia seller, she has nothing to do with the Liang Fu biography and the tax endowment. There are rulers and chiefs, and they are all given seals, and the crown is made of otter skin. The famous canal is called a master, and he is called a disciple. Today, Changsha Wuling is also barbaric. …….”

Liu Qi nodded, he was still familiar with this historical allusion of the barbarians, and knew that the Pan Gu Barbarian was formed by the combination of the pet dog Pan Gu and the emperor beside Emperor Zhuan. It's just that this is of course a legend, so naturally I don't really believe it.

And then is the history of the barbarian continuous invasion of China, from the Zhou to the history of the former Han Dynasty, needless to say, here is mainly introduced to the barbarian Kouluo historical sites since Emperor Guangwu of the Later Han Dynasty.

"Twenty-three years after the establishment of the military, Jingfu Xiang one-way according to its danger, Dakou County. More than 10,000 soldiers from Nanjun, Changsha and Wuling were sent to Wuwei General Liu Shangfa to trace the water by boat and attack it by force. After the defeat of the Shang army, everything was lost. Twenty-four years, Xiang Yicheng and others attacked Linyuan, and the dispatchers Li Song and Zhongshan Taishou Ma attacked it, and they could not be defeated. In the spring of next year, the Fubo general Ma Yuan, the Zhonglang generals Liu Kuang, Ma Wu, Sun Yong, etc., will be sent to Linyuan to defeat it. One-way waiting for hunger and begging, will help the sick and die, and the confessors have heard of the surrender. ”

"In the first year of the founding of Suzong (that is, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty), Chen Cong and others rebelled in Wuling Li and entered the Lingyang barbarian realm. In the winter, the five miles of the Zero Yang Man Jingfu broke through the county, and all the subordinates descended. In the winter of the third year, Qin Erjian and others rebelled and attacked Lingyang, Tang, and Xiaoling. In the spring of next year, more than 5,000 prisoners and soldiers from the seven counties of Jingzhou and Runan and Yingchuan will refuse to defend Lingyang, and 4,000 people will be recruited to fight the thieves. In the spring of the fifth year, Qin Erjian and others are not allowed. The county entered the army, fought with the macro, broke it, beheaded the children, and the rest abandoned the camp and returned to the middle of the camp, and returned to begging, which was accepted. ”

"In the winter of the fourth year of Emperor Yongyuan, Lizhong, Lizhong, Mantan Rong and other counters, burned the post pavilion, killed the people, and the county soldiers broke it and surrendered it."

"In the first two years of Emperor An, Li Zhongman was resentful of the county tax imbalance, so he formed more than 2,000 people of all kinds in the middle of the city, and attacked the city and killed the chief. The state and county recruited five miles of barbarian and six pavilion soldiers to pursue and break it, and they all scattered...... In the autumn of next year, 4,000 people will be thieves in Lizhong and Lizhong. More than 1,000 people, such as Lingling Barbarian Sheep Sun and Chen Tang, wore red curtains, called generals, burned official temples, and plundered the people. The state and county raised the good and the barbaric to seek peace. ”

"In the first year of Emperor Yonghe, Lizhong and Lizhong fought for Gongbu Non-Old Testament, so they killed the villagers and rebelled. In the spring of next year, 20,000 people will besiege the city, and 8,000 people will be in Kouyidao. Sent Wuling Taishou Li Jin to break it, beheaded hundreds of levels, and the rest surrendered. ”

"In the autumn of the first year of Emperor Huan Yuanjia, more than 4,000 people including Wuling Manzhan Mountain rebelled, held the county order, and settled in the deep mountains. In the first year of Yongxing, Taishou should be lured by grace and faith, and they were all dispersed.

In the winter of the third year of Yongshou, more than 6,000 people from Wulingman, Kou Jiangling, Liu Du, the assassin of Jingzhou, Ma Mu, and Li Su, the Taishou of Nanjun, all ran away. The general Feng Qi was sent to fight against Wu Lingman, and they all surrendered. The army is returned. ”

"In the third year of Emperor Ling's Zhongping, Wuling rebelled, and the boundary of Kou County and the state and county broke it.

……

Liu Qi read this information and said slowly: "This time, Wuxi Man led 20,000 troops into the four counties of Wuling, and the people of the four counties are already scarce, so I am afraid that they will not be able to support it for many days, what do you think should be done?" Jin has been in office in Wuling for many days, and he should have experience, so it is better to talk about it first. ”

"Yes." Jin Xuan, who was reappointed by Liu Qi to engage in it, arched his hand and said respectfully: "The lower officials think that the Wuxi barbarians have always been greedy for money, so it is better for us to give generous gifts. ”

And Pei Qian stepped forward and said: "General, this matter must not be, although Jin Zhi's words can make the Wuxi barbarians retreat, but once this happens, it will raise tigers and leave a legacy, once the other party lacks money, it will take advantage of my realm, he will not only ignore my people, but also get property, why not?" ”

Jin Xuan said: "Although Pei Junshi's words are reasonable, the thieves are powerful, and my Wuling will face Lingling at any time. The three counties of Guiyang and Changsha threatened, if they wanted to repel the thieves, I am afraid that they would make enemies on three sides, and at that time, I am afraid that we would not be able to get the thieves to retreat. ”

Pei Qian said loudly: "General, do you remember my peace story with the Huns? At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, our dynasty was weak, groveling to the Huns, and even did not hesitate to make peace with the Xiongnu princess and the Huns. On the contrary, Emperor Xiaowu ordered the generals Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to attack the Huns three times to relieve the power of our border troubles. ”

Liu Qi slowly glanced at Xu Shu and asked, "What does Xu Junshi think?" ”

Xu Shu took a feather fan, shook it slowly, and said lightly: "I agree with the opinion of the left military division." General, please think about it, we have temporarily stabilized the barbarians with our goods, in case we use troops against the three counties at a critical moment, the barbarians will invade again, how should we deal with it? At that time, if you use money and goods to settle the knot, will the other party be willing to withdraw from the army? ”

But I heard Liu Qi say loudly: "Xu Junshi's words are exactly what I want, I decided to express Pei Junshi as Wuling Taishou, Pingman Zhonglang General, Pan Jun as Pingban Captain, leading 10,000 troops, known as 30,000, and commanding Lingyang, Chongxian, Youyang, Qianling, Yuanling Chenyang and Rongcheng Seven Counties to break the barbarian soldiers, don't make the barbarians dare to break in one fell swoop, and dare not offend me in a few years." ”

When Pei Qian and Pan Jun heard this, they immediately thanked them and said in unison: "The last general will definitely live up to the high expectations of the general and let my Wuling enjoy peace again." ”

After saying that, he received the military order, and immediately set off to make preparations, so that he could set off to the rescue as soon as possible.

Wang Cang, who was on the side, saw Liu Qi making such an arrangement, and suddenly realized in his heart, so he asked: "The general did not personally recruit this time, so he must have other arrangements, could it be that he would take this opportunity to make a certain map of the three counties?" ”

Liu Qi nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Zhong Xuan's words are good, this general has this intention, this time I plan to take this opportunity to divide the troops and take Lingling, I don't know what your plan is?" Shi Yuan, can you talk about it first? ”

Liu Qi glanced at Pang Tong, who was eager to try, and said with a smile.
