After listening to Fan Jinyan, Huang Deying put down his wine glass and sighed: "The general doesn't know, it's not that the Li people hate the Han people, it's really a reason!" ”

After Huang Deying finished speaking, Fan Jinyan knew that this Nima was the mess left by He Yi to himself.

The Shengli people have lived in the mountains and eighteen villages for a long time, and have little contact with the outside world, but it does not mean that they are completely isolated from the world, but they are just used to the simple life in the mountains and forests. I often go to the towns outside the mountains, and sell some mountain goods or buy some daily necessities in the market.

Because of the harsh environment in the deep mountains, there are often wild beasts infested, and the Shengli people are not only good at shooting, but also most of them are strong adults. It is precisely because of this that He Yi, who was the prefect of Qiongzhou at the time and was ambitious, took a fancy to him.

So, He Yi first sent people into the mountains several times to contact the clansmen of Shengli Eighteen Villages, wanting to recruit a part of the Li tribe to form several fire teams.

But He Yi's notoriety is well-known on Qiongzhou Island, and the elders of the Li clan are naturally reluctant to hand over their clansmen to such a demon. It was very unceremonious, and he drove all the envoys sent by He Yi out of the mountain three or four times. This move undoubtedly angered He Yi's bottom line, but He Yi did not send a large army there, but went to apologize in person with countless gifts.

After all, He Yi is the soil emperor of Qiongzhou, and the elders of the Li clan don't want to offend him to death.

So the elders of the eighteen villages went to greet him in person, but what he never expected was that this was actually a trap set by He Yi, and he wanted to wait for an opportunity to kidnap these elders and force the Shengli people to comply. As a result, He Yi still didn't succeed, and he also executed all the patriarchs he held hostage to vent his anger.

This also provoked a two-year-long Li rebellion, and finally the Li people who went out of the mountain were defeated and returned without dominance, and since then they have been isolated from the world and no longer interact with the Han people outside the mountain, which is why Li merchants like Huang Deying who entered the mountains appeared.

Because of He Yichuang's misfortune, the extraordinary hatred of the Shengli people towards the Han people could be their revenge?

However, Huang Deying shook his head and said: "The general doesn't know, although the Shengli people hate the Han people, but since the rebellion a few years ago, they have lived deep in the mountains and never left half a step. Those who went down the mountain to plunder the place were others. ”

"Qin Yuan?" Fan Jinyan frowned and asked, the feeling of déjà vu for Qin Yuan's name always lingered in Fan Jinyan's mind.

Huang Deying nodded and said, "That's right, it's him!" ”

Next, Huang Deying told Fan Jinyan everything he knew.

Half a year ago, Qin Yuan suddenly appeared, and then suddenly disappeared, in fact, he hid in the sphere of influence of the Eighteen Villages. Moreover, he also has a good relationship with the ministers and elders of Shengli Eighteen Villages, and whenever he encounters danger, he will always be protected by each village, which is why the government can't catch him no matter how it encircles and suppresses him.

At this time, Fan Jinyan is completely difficult to do, Shengli Eighteen Zhai hates the Han people, even if he personally goes to the door to ask for someone, it will not help.

What to do?

Is it just such a compromise?

Give yourself one more time bomb that could explode at any moment?

This is obviously not Fan Jinyan's style.

But how can this problem be solved?

If it is hard, the more than 10,000 soldiers under his command will not even bubble up in the mountains and disappear. And this move will only worsen relations between Lebanese and Han people, and plunge the forces into a prolonged period of turmoil.

"By the way, what are the living conditions in the mountains?" Without an idea for a while, Fan Jinyan had no choice but to plan to take one step at a time.

Huang Deying shook his head and replied: "It's very bitter, the people of Shengli Eighteen Villages basically live on hunting and very few mountains, and they are completely incomparable to the outside." ”

Is it possible to start with food and ease the relationship between the two sides first?

Thinking of this, Fan Jinyan said: "General Ben is giving you a difficult task now, presumably you also know the new crop!" Bring it into the mountains and tell the elders of the Eighteen Villages, just say that I, Fan Jinyan, are not He Yi, since they are from Qiongzhou, they are my people, and I will not let them still suffer from hunger. I will also tell them about the current changes in Qiongzhou, and try to ease the relationship between the two sides. Is it possible? ”

Huang Deying suddenly responded, "The general can rest assured, the villain will go to prepare immediately, and he will bring the general's original words." ”

Fan Jinyan really has no good way now, he can only take one step at a time, and talk about the relationship first, but it is unknown whether the other party will buy it or not.

After Huang Deying left, in order not to arouse the sensitivity of Shengli Eighteen Villages, Fan Jinyan also specially ordered the soldiers to set up the camp next to a town thirty miles away, pretending that they were just here for military exercises.

After waiting for ten days, Tang Fei, as the supreme commander of the military, was unhappy, he was aggrieved for several months, and finally thought that he could loosen his muscles, but he came here to act, and couldn't help but start complaining to Fan Jinyan, "General, isn't it just a bandit, let's fight it, I don't believe that muskets can't beat bows and arrows." ”

Fan Jinyan's most worried problem still appeared, as the power became bigger and bigger, and there were more and more soldiers, Tang Fei also began to become a little unsightly, and he didn't take the Orions of Shengli Eighteen Villages in his eyes at all.

"Smack." Fan Jinyan slapped the table and said angrily: "What? Just a little capable thought that Lao Tzu was the best in the world? The truth that arrogant soldiers will be defeated doesn't need to be told to you again! Look, I'll give you what I can, okay! Take your soldiers to the mountains to suppress bandits now! The money for 2,000 coffins, Lao Tzu still came out. ”

Tang Fei didn't expect Fan Jinyan to be so angry, he was suddenly startled, and quickly knelt down on one knee to admit his mistake, "What the general reminded is that he is wrong. ”

"You know it's wrong? Fart, you kid would be so honest and admit his mistakes? Fan Jinyan sneered.

Tang Fei is his favorite general, but now he is so reckless, he really chokes Fan Jin's words.

But Tang Fei did wake up, yes, they were all born as bandits, and they had quite a lot of experience in mountain warfare, but he forgot that the soldiers under his command were all recruits outside the mountains, although they had been training for several months, and they often fought against drills, after all, they were all fakes, and they had never really seen blood. Moreover, the situation in the mountains is complicated, as long as the enemy sends a small number of young people to attack in the dense mountains, these newcomers who have never been on the battlefield can collapse in the fear of wireless.

This is also the reason why it has always been the most difficult for the official army to exterminate the bandits.

Tang Fei also realized how serious the mistake he had made, changed one knee to two knees, kowtowed to Fan Jinyan three times, and said ashamedly: "If it weren't for the general's mention, I almost made a big mistake in my humble position, please punish the general." ”

Fan Jinyan was willing to punish Tang Fei, as long as he could understand that he would no longer despise any enemy in the future, he would really rest assured. (To be continued.) )
