Chapter 375: Headache Yamagoe
According to historical records, the Shanyue that now plagues Yangzhou is the collective name of the bandit-like armed groups in the Jiangnan region during the Three Kingdoms period in the late Han Dynasty. Because they were unwilling to be controlled by the Han Dynasty government, or because of the oppression of local officials, the powerful people with a little financial resources often occupied the mountains as their bases, so they were also called "mountain people". The production method of Shanyue was mainly agriculture, growing grains, and there was copper and iron in the high mountains, so they forged their own armor to arm themselves. They are scattered and live in small clusters, are good at practicing martial arts, and rely on mountain dangers to form armed military groups, among which their leaders call themselves "handsome", "big marshal", "sect marshal" and many other titles, and are in a semi-independent state for the central feudal power. Due to the high mountains and dense forests, there is no way to exterminate them without familiar people to lead the way, over the years, Shanyue has repeatedly rebelled and plundered the villages near the county town, and as soon as the official army came, they withdrew several times and there was no way to subdue them, and in the end they could only acquiesce to the existence of independent armed forces like them, and they still needed to send people to pacify them every year. This method is originally a kind of symptomatic but not curative method, Shanyue usually farms when it is very quiet, but once it encounters floods, mudslides or other disasters, the people of the 36 villages of the Shanyue clan will gather people and horses to plunder in Yangzhou, even if they want to appease, they can not retreat, only give enough salt and food, cloth will retreat. For many years, Shanyue has also been regarded as a cancer that the Han Dynasty cannot remove, just like the Hu people and Nanban outside the Saiwai who refuse to accept the king's teachings.
"Feng Xiao, after you personally confronted the Shanyue clan, what differences did you find between them?" Only Guo Jia, Zhang Zhao, Cheng Yu, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, and Zhou An were left in the meeting hall, and the other generals all gathered together to drink outside, and Zhou Yu began to ask about the Shanyue clan at this time, and now the young patriarch of one of the Shanyue clans has been in Yangzhou City for a long time, and he sends people every day to ask Zhou Yu how much he will return to Yangzhou. Thirty-six villages also have the size of the difference, in order to integrate the confrontation against the official army, the thirty-six villages every three years will jointly elect a person of high moral respect as the patriarch of the Shanyue clan, so many years there has been no accident, but this time the patriarch of the Shanyue clan died inexplicably, and the spearhead is all pointed at the young patriarch Sha Maha and Yangzhou official army, 36 Zhai gathered troops Chen Bing in the area of Huiji County to hand over Sha Maha with the official army. After Guo Jia and Huang Zhong led the troops to compete with them in the past, the people of the 36 villages saw Huang Zhong's magic arrow and Guo Jia's strategy for the time being, but they gave Yangzhou an ultimatum, if Yangzhou does not hand over Sha Maha after three months, then the 36 villages will gather 100,000 Shanyue soldiers to set foot in Yangzhou, Yangzhou and Shanyue border a lot of places, Yangzhou is now in ruins and there are not so many troops to garrison each county, and there is still half a month to reach the deadline. Speaking of which, it's also a matter of burning eyebrows.
"They are not good at attacking the county town, but they are very flexible in marching and escaping in the flat land and jungle, and we are not afraid of face-to-face offensive combat, what we are afraid of is that they will be unable to defend against flowers on all sides." In fact, Zhou Yu understood that this was similar to the jungle and mountain operations in the special operations of later generations, but they usually hunted in the mountains and worked hard, and once there was a war, they could immediately become combatable soldiers. Guo Jia is also worried about the battles that are blooming everywhere, and it is the common people who will be unlucky at that time.
"What has Zhongde's young patriarch Sha Maha said for so long? What happened to the Shanyue clan? I remember the last time Zibu went to visit the patriarch, he was fine, and it didn't take long for him to receive our gifts, why did he suddenly die? Zhou Yu listened to Guo Jia's words and nodded, he turned to Cheng Yu again, the Sha Maha in the city doesn't know what to do and want to do?
"Gong Jin I also personally asked the young patriarch of Sha Maha, but he couldn't say one, two, three, just said that there were five villages of gold, silver, copper, iron and tin in the thirty-six villages, and the people in the five villages had always been very hostile to his father, but fortunately, the people in other villages supported his father, and he found that when his father died violently in the evening, when he just entered his father's room, many people suddenly poured in outside, but he saw clearly that his father had died violently on the couch, and he was also a confidant who took the opportunity to rescue himself, Let him go to Yangzhou to seek help from Yangzhou Assassin History, so he came in a daze, and after he came, he was anxious to go back, it seems that this person does not seem to be a scheming person, and the Shanyue clan has sent someone to investigate, and there is no valuable news back for the time being. Cheng Yu has also tried many methods, he feels that Sha Mohe is a person who has no scheming at all, but he is just more powerful, and Cheng Yu is also helpless if he doesn't get valuable information.
"Enzibu, how old was he when you last went to see the patriarch of the Shanyue clan? How is the body" Zhou Yu's brows also wrinkled more and more, and he didn't have a clue at all, so he could only ask Zhang Zhao is the patriarch of the Shanyue clan. If it's more than half a hundred years old
