Chapter 474: Plotting to Pacify Jiangdong (3)
It is no wonder that Qin Xu thought about Guo Jia, using Yan Baihu's relationship with the Shanyue people as a link, and taking advantage of the mountain to attack Yuzhang by surprise, and Yu Wuqi was not optimistic. Shanyue people are by no means good stubble!
The history of the Shanyue barbarians can be traced back to the pre-Qin period. At that time, the land of Jiangdong was actually owned by the Baiyue people. Later, it was conquered by the Qin Emperor, set up counties, and returned to the king, after Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty pacified the world, he relocated a large number of people from the Central Plains here, reclaimed wasteland, and supported agricultural merchants, so that there was now a place in Yangzhou that is comparable to the whole territory of the Central Plains.
The expansion of the wilderness will never be just a few strokes in history to describe the hardships and cruelty in it. Countless original Baiyue barbarians were slaughtered and driven away by the army, and had to hide in the deep mountains and ravines to survive, this situation has existed since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, and the accompanying killing and resentment have accumulated deeper and deeper, so the contradictions between the Shanyue people and the Han people are also unimaginable to ordinary people.
Although with the passage of time. Some of the Shanyue barbarians began to come into contact with the Han Chinese, and most of them still retained their inherent customs, but in fact they had gradually assimilated into the Han Chinese. Most of these Shanyue people, known as Shuman, are in the vicinity of Danyang County, Yuzhang County, and Wuling County in Jingzhou, and some of them have begun to cooperate with the Han forces. Just as it was used by Zhou Yu at the beginning, he borrowed troops to attack Xiao Pass and Fu Pass, but in the end, a leader died tragically, and the remnants filled the Shanyue Sect in Tuntian, Danyang County, where slaves ended. It's a very famous one among the cooks.
But in addition to these familiar barbarians, there are quite a few Shanyue people who have not chosen this path. Rather, it continues to uphold the tradition of generations. Sticking to the last legacy. These barbarians are hidden in the south of Jiangdong and the southern part of Jingzhou, and are said to be extremely hostile to the Han people. He also hated the familiar barbarians who betrayed their faith. According to the history that Qin Xu is familiar with, the three generations of the Lao Sun family have spent their lives in poverty, and they have also suffered from the brutal attacks of these Shanyue students who are not subject to the king, and there is no way to completely eradicate this chronic disease. Even hundreds of years later, in the Sui and Tang dynasties, there was news of Shanyue people haunting.
Although Qin Xu also knew that when Yan Baihu occupied Wu County and Huiji County and claimed hegemony, he didn't know what method he used to coexist peacefully with Shanyue Shengman, who had always hated the Han people. And it is said that he has a good relationship with several of the barbarian leaders. But would Yamakoshi be so good at talking? Besides, what he was bringing at the moment was an army of nearly 30,000, instead of three or five people looking for friends, Qin Xu really didn't dare to think that Yan Baihu alone could successfully borrow the way in Shanyue's territory. It is easy to gain the trust of the leader of the Shanyue Barbarian King who is entrenched in the deep mountains between Huiji County and Yuzhang County.
"General Qin, according to the report of the Tanma, after turning over the hill in front, we are about to officially enter the territory of the Shanyue people." This was the Dian Wei of the guard general when Qin Xu went out on the expedition this time. After all, he still holds the official position of the commander of Lu Bu's personal guard battalion. Theoretically, in Lu Bu's army, he was on the same level as Qin Xu. Qin Xu was also embarrassed to support this fierce general whose strength was comparable to Lu Bu's. Therefore, unless there is a war, Qin Xu generally only leaves the iron triangle of the camp to approach with Hao Zhao, and now Hao Zhao is because of Qin Xu's instructions, pestering Dian Wei, who is in charge of the Danyang soldiers, to learn kung fu, Lao Xu and Kong Er were stunned to pick up the grain and grass delivered by Tai Shici, Sima Mao made a cameo appearance in Dian Wei's position, and reported the path of the army after entering the mountain to Qin Xu clearly.
"Is there any news of Yan Baihu?" An army of 30,000 is really too eye-catching. Along. Even Qin Xu, a military camp novice, felt that there were no less than five sentry posts secretly probing. Although no malice was shown. But it was enough to make Qin Xu have to be more cautious.
The time agreed with Yan Baihu is these two days. It's almost time to estimate. If nothing goes wrong, Yan Baihu's army should have successfully escaped Sun Ce's sight by now, and entered the mountains from Dongling, which is closest to Huiji County in the south of Yuzhang, and got in touch with the barbarian king of the new capital of the Shanyuesheng Barbarian Sect to go out of the mountain to meet Qin Xu's army and raid Yuzhang County. But until now, seeing that he was about to step into the situation of the new capital, there was still no news of Yan Baihu, which made Qin Xu a little more suspicious.
"Not yet! The last general has already sent a scout horse to add another twenty miles, and they are about to enter the territory of the Shanyue barbarians, but there is still no news of Yan. Sima Mao still has that gloomy face, even if he is smiling, he can't make anyone have any thoughts of liking. However, when facing Qin Xu, Sima Mao can still make people see a trace of popularity, because he is already a senior general in the camp, the murderous aura on his body is a lot more restrained, but it makes people feel more and more that Sima Mao is like a dagger hidden in the dark, and he gives people a feeling of extreme danger.
"Since Fengxiao said that Yan Baihu would communicate with the Shanyue barbarians and open up the passage between Huiji and Yuzhang County, it was not a joke. At least until now, we have waited for the army to make such a big move, and in addition to increasing the number of peeps, those Shanyue people have not provoked Shanyue to rebound, which shows that it still has some effect. And ordered to go down, and ordered the horses to be strictly investigated! At the same time, the whole army was ordered to be on strict alert! "At this time, Qin Xu must not damage Guo Jia's prestige, otherwise even if there is a foundation of Qingzhou soldiers' extremely high loyalty and absolutely high morale, it is enough to affect the soldiers' morale. Although in the history that Qin Xu knows, Guo Jia has already made a conclusion about the coffin, which can be called a model of exhaustive strategy, and he has never made a mistake in his life. But at the moment, it really doesn't seem like it will follow the rhythm of Guo Jia's plan. The reaction of the Shanyue people was too abnormal, and it always made Qin Xu feel uneasy. Therefore, while instructing Sima to take the order to strengthen the scope of exploration, he also had to be more careful.
Facts have proved that Qin Xu's worries are undoubtedly correct. Just when Qin Xu's army stepped into the realm of the Shanyue Shengman's new capital sect, Yan Baihu's army, which had been agreed, still did not appear as promised after all. Waiting in the local area, it is at a glance that the mountains are full of wilderness, all surrounded by animal skins, with a feather hat on the head, and the appearance reminds the mountains and barbarians of the Central Plains, which are very different.
"Woo woo woo, Siri snoring!" The leader of this group of Shanyue barbarians is an old man with a white beard and hair, but still a burly figure, naked upper body with many strange patterns tattooed with muscles, and holding a rod in his hand that is not gold or wood, and has a simple and strange rattan shape. It was facing Qin Xu who was standing in front of the 30,000 army on the alert of the whole army. A strange scream.
"Ahem, ask the brethren who knows the barbarian language." Qin Xu touched his nose in embarrassment, and whispered to Dian Wei, Sima Mao and the others in front of him. Originally, after getting Guo Jia's secret letter. Qin Xu was also quite optimistic that having Yan Baihu as a response, it was just a matter of taking a shortcut. Even if he felt that the development of things was not as simple as he thought before, as Qin Xu, who was accustomed to the fact that the local dialect was basically incomprehensible in all parts of the world in later generations, and immediately automatically converted to the Mandarin mode, he was not prepared to communicate with this group of mountains at all. Therefore, on the other side this is clearly the leader of the barbarian king. Or when a figure like a tribal sacrifice came out to question, Qin Xu, who hadn't tasted embarrassment for a long time, was completely out of luck this time.
"This ......" at this moment, let alone Dian Wei, Hao Zhao and the sergeants around him. Even Sima Mao, who has always had the best methods, was dumbfounded. At present, more than half of the people in Qin Xu's army were just the remnants of the Yellow Turbans who couldn't survive, and the other half lived in Danyang County, which was close to the area of Shanyue's mature barbarians. But even if you know a few words of Shanyue Barbarian. But there is also a big difference between the language of raw man and familiar barbarian, let alone communicating with the old man in front of him. If you say the familiar barbaric language of Shanyue's barbarian feud, then let alone continue to talk, it's good not to use a knife and a gun immediately. Qin Xu is not afraid of using force, but if he is not mistaken, he should be the barbarian king of the Shanyue Xindu Division, who was pinned on by Guo Jia with great hopes and was friendly with Yan Baihu, the largest of the two counties of Huiji and Yuzhang. It is better to minimize the conflict, or not to use the sword in vain.
"Huh?" The old man over there. Seeing Qin Xu looking at each other with a wry smile on his face, a thick look of doubt appeared in his cloudy eyes. It was loud again, as if jumping and shouting the previous "word" again. At the same time, many of the Shanyue barbarians who were standing behind the old man of Shanyue also took a step forward, and the weapons such as wooden guns and iron knives in their hands gradually took a defensive posture.
"Herald! Don't be reckless! "Qin Xu is not afraid of fighting soldiers, and the Qingzhou soldiers and Danyang soldiers behind him are never afraid of anyone, as long as Qin Xu gives an order, these people in front of him who don't even have armor are more and more barbaric, and they are not taken into account by this group of soldiers at all. However, Qin Xu only felt that if it was a meaningless exchange, it would be impossible to solve any problems except for bringing considerable hidden dangers to the future governance of Jiangdong. Therefore, what can be done now is only to order the soldiers behind him not to act rashly, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings and end badly, and hope that it will be delayed for a while, and it is best to delay it for a while, preferably at a critical moment, Yan Baihu suddenly fell from the sky.
"The Han people from afar, what you are standing now is the inheritance of the mountain people of the Xindu Sect, you have brought so many warriors armed with swords and guns, are you here to declare war?" Just because of the problem of language barriers, the atmosphere of the two parties' respective vigilance became more and more solemn and depressing, both Qin Xu's army and Shanyue Shengman subconsciously picked up the weapons in their hands, and when the battle was about to break out, a crisp voice that sounded to Qin Xu and absolutely surpassed the fairy sound suddenly sounded from behind the old man of Shanyue.
"Don't get me wrong! Under it is the Great Han Special Guard, the general of Zhengdong led the Xuzhou Assassin History, and the Wuting Marquis Qin Xu. The voice was crisp and tight, but it seemed that he was still in the period of voice change, and he couldn't distinguish between men and women, Qin Xu didn't have the heart to care about these details at the moment, and reported to his family: "This time is to follow the order of the Great Han Hussar General Wen Houjun to conquer the rebel Han Buchen, guided by General Yan Baihu of our department, and want to take advantage of your place, and it is definitely not a person who will raise troops to attack." ”
"Humph! I thought you were a good person when I saw you, but I didn't expect you to be a big talker! Daddy, this man must be lying! Hurry up and take him down! The crisp young man's voice came from behind the old man of Shanyue, but it was still in Chinese, but the thick disdain and disdain in these words made people not angry at all.
"Why did Your Excellency come to the conclusion so easily, Qin is the one who lies and deceives? Don't be mistaken for the good guys! Qin Xu wasn't sure whether the old man who had been in poor communication just now could understand what the young man had just said, but he still subconsciously defended himself.
"Humph! I just know! A petite figure poked its head out from behind the burly body of the old man. Qin Xu thought it was a Shanyue boy, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be a Shanyue girl wrapped in flowers...... (To be continued......)
