Chapter 361: King Miao has a big plan
Since Liu Zhang met Jian Yong, he planned to give up completely, not wanting the people of Chengdu to suffer again.
Liu Zhang cried and said to the officials and soldiers: "My father and son have been in Yizhou for more than 20 years, and they have not given kindness to the people. After three years of fighting with Liu Xuande, many people died in the wilderness, and I was in vain. I can rest assured!"
"Xuande attacked me, it was a helpless move, you don't need to persuade again, Liu led the wolf into the room, and the sin is serious."
Liu Zhang ordered the soldiers in the city to open the city gates, and took a carriage out of the city with Jian Yong to surrender, and there was no one among his subordinates who did not cry bitterly. With one mouth, Jian Yong saved hundreds of thousands of people from the flames of war, and his merits were immeasurable. After Liu Bei pacified Yizhou, he named Jian Yong as General Zhaode.
History is strikingly similar, fifty years later, the same scene was staged again in Chengdu, but this time it was Liu Bei's son Liu Chan who surrendered, that is, the familiar Shu queen Adou.
At this point, a war for Yizhou came to an end after nearly three years.
When Liu Bei conquered Bashu in the west, the Miao soldiers made great achievements as the vanguard, but after the capital Chengdu became the emperor, he completely forgot the promise he had made before, and did not bring much change to the lives of the Miao people.
Since Guan Yu carelessly lost Jingzhou and was captured and killed by Lu Meng, Liu Bei ignored Zhuge Liang's advice, collected grain and grass everywhere, and brazenly sent nearly 100,000 troops.
Kong Ming sat in Chengdu, Liu Bei was a typical mentally handicapped in military affairs, and most of the marches and battles were impulsive, and after a few victories in the early days, he was fluttering. As a result, in the first battle of Yiling, the Shu army was burned 70 miles by the 24-year-old scholar general Lu Xun. Liu Bei, who returned from defeat, retreated all the way west, was angry and hateful, and died in the White Emperor City at the age of 63.
Soochow's army took the opportunity to recover most of Jingzhou's land, and naturally Bucheng was also included in Soochow's sphere of influence. Sun Quan treated those Miao people who had helped Liu Bei as barbarians, imposed heavy taxes, and adopted violent rule, and the Miao people could not bear the suffering. The Shu army and the Wu army fought a tug-of-war for a long time in Lingling County and Wuling County, and Bucheng returned to Shu yesterday and Wu today, making the place of Bucheng unpeaceful.
Since ancient times, the Miao people have had a tradition of "tyranny", and they dare to resist the oppressor to the end. More than 5,000 years ago, the ancestors of the Miao people appeared in the Yellow River Valley, and the Chiyou tribe was active in the Central Plains at the earliest time in the primitive society.
Chiyou has 81 brothers, all of them are beasts, copper-headed and iron-fronted, eating sand and stones, and they are extremely fierce. They also made swords, halberds, bows, and crossbows, and often led his tribe to invade other tribes.
The Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor joined forces to attack Chiyou, but the war lasted for three years without a winner. After nine undecided battles, the Yellow Emperor defeated Chiyou in the field of Zhuolu, and Chiyou was killed by the Yellow Emperor, and the Jiuli clan declined.
The Huandou tribe, a branch of the Jingman tribe, is commonly known as the "ancient three seedlings", and in the later years of Emperor Yao, the Huandou tribe recommended the co-workers to inherit the Yao position, and Yao appointed the co-workers as the engineers. After Emperor Shun ascended the throne, in order to crack down on dissidents, the Huandou tribe and its leader Gonggong were exiled to the Sanmiao Kingdom on the charge of "fierce clan".
After the defeat of Danzhu, most of the Miao people moved to the mountainous areas of southwest Hunan. During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Miao ancestors began to establish the "Three Miao Kingdom" in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River to engage in agricultural rice cultivation.
The state of Chu was destroyed by the state of Qin during the Warring States period, and the Miao people were once again driven farther into the mountains. The Miao people have migrated many times in history, and the general route is from the Yellow River basin to Hunan (Hunan), to Guizhou (Guizhou), and to Yunnan (Yunnan).
The Miao territory in his hands was lost again, and he did not keep his father's inheritance, Liu Chan felt very much in his heart. Bucheng is an outpost and weather vane against Eastern Wu, and it can directly threaten Jingzhou, and it can collect two vast lands in the south, transport silk overseas, increase the revenue of the national treasury, and provide tens of thousands of brave soldiers. The beautiful thing of killing three birds with one stone, Liu Chan with the assistance of Zhuge Liang is not confused.
One day, at the palace banquet, Liu Chan said to Zhuge Liang: "Father, my Han Dynasty has lost Jingzhou for a long time, and I want to recover Guiyang and Changsha County, is it okay?" ”
"Your Majesty, the situation in my Han Dynasty is unstable, and the first emperor fought with Eastern Wu, and his vitality was greatly damaged, and the time is not yet ripe, so he can't." Kong Ming replied.
"Soochow has its eyes on my Wuling County and often intrudes on its place. The Sanmiao tribe has a rebellious heart, and it should be killed! ”
So the ministers held a court meeting on the matter of the conquest. At the same time, a massive uprising was brewing in southwestern Hunan.
In the city, the leaders of the Nine Creeks and Eighteen Mountains gathered in the Qian family's residence, and sat in turn, Qian Tong sat in the center of the hall, with his hands on the tiger skin of the chair, majestic.
"Lord Yang Dong, this is a big move, and the leader of the alliance has to do it." Qian Tong said.
"General Qian, you have been on the battlefield for a long time, Wen Taowu is strategic, and King Miao is none other than you!" Yang ignored the flying mountain and got up to excuse himself.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am under the orders of the first emperor, if it is the other way around, the name of General Zhennan may be the emperor's order." Qian Tong said.
"I'm afraid of a bird, and in the future, the Lord doesn't care about my life and death, and lets Dongwu bully my three seedlings, why do you care so much?" Luo Jiannan, the lord of Chishui Mountain, shouted.
Mo Yitong, Menggu Mountain, Hengling Mountain and other mountain owners couldn't sit still.
"If you don't protect yourself, you can only be slaughtered!"
The leader of Dayangtong said: "Far water can't quench the thirst of the near, think back to these years, what has the imperial court given us?" In addition to the non-stop battle, the Eighteen Mountains have not had a few good days! ”
The leader of Xiaoyangtong echoed: "Yes, yes, yes!" Emperor Zhaolie broke his trust in my three seedlings, I have to wait to save myself, relying on others and eggs, it is better to rely on myself! ”
"The emperors of Wu and Shu are not good things!"
"The world is as black as a crow!" ……
The leaders of the Nine Creeks and Eighteen Gorges became more and more excited.
Qian Tong saw that everyone was impassioned one by one, and he had made up his mind, so he didn't say anything more. Finally, at the initiative of Lei Xuexue, the lord of Feishan Mountain, Qian Tong was unanimously elected as the leader of the alliance, and the uprising was held on the third day, that is, the eighth day of the fourth month.
In the courtyard of the Qian house, a cow, a sheep, and a pig were each slaughtered and enshrined in front of the incense case. After worshipping the mountain gods and heaven and earth, the housekeeper of the Qian Mansion dripped the blood of a big rooster into everyone's bowl, and the lord of the Eighteen Mountains and Qian Tong made an alliance with blood, and drank the big bowl in one gulp.
Qian Tong was pushed to the throne of King Miao by the leaders, and the first thing he did was to ask each mountain to send 500 troops and prepare grain, grass and weapons. The second thing was to quickly detain those Shu Han officials in Bucheng who were unwilling to participate in the uprising, in order to prevent leaks. The third thing is to order the craftsman to carve the jade seal of Miao Wang as soon as possible, so that he can give orders and act in unison.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed. Two days have passed, and tens of thousands of Miao people from Jiuxi and Eighteen Mountains have gathered on the outskirts of Bucheng. King Miao rode a war horse, carrying a demon halberd, and the eighteen lords followed closely behind him, so imposing!
"Since Pangu opened the world, Bucheng has revolted for the first time. Brave Miao family heroes, use your swords to fight for the revival of the Three Miao Kingdoms! ”
"Long live King Miao, long live King Miao!" The Miao soldiers shouted at King Miao. The uprising finally broke out, and under the leadership of Qian Tong, the uprising developed rapidly, and soon more than a dozen prefectures and counties were captured, and the officials and soldiers fled.
Liu Chan, who was far away in Chengdu, was shocked when he heard the news. Immediately gathered 30,000 elite soldiers, with Zhuge Liang as the main commander and military division, and traveled thousands of miles to the land of Sanmiao to suppress the Miao uprising.
In the third year of the reign of Shu Han (225), Zhuge Liang led a large army to the south to conquer Jiuxi and Eighteen Mountains, and went deep into the bank of Xiongxi in Bucheng. After a long time of walking, the soldiers of the Shu army had dry lips and dry mouth, drank Xiongxi water, vomited up and down, and could not march, so they had to build a soil city in the south corner of the city of Chengbu County, set up camp, and stopped the conquest action.
Bucheng belongs to the south pole of Chu, Miao Xinjiang important area, Xiongxi is also called Wushui, is the head of the five streams, and Xiangxi, Huaihua and other places are connected with mountains and rivers, and the culture has the same root. Since ancient times, witchcraft has prevailed, there are witch mountains in the mountains, witch water in the water, and witches in the play, and there are terrifying witchcraft popular in this land.
Miao Wang Qiantong sent a small group of elite soldiers to attack the Shu army at night from time to time, and after the battle, he withdrew into the mountains and mountains, and ran without a trace. The combat effectiveness of the Shu army was sharply reduced, and it could not confront King Miao's troops head-on, so Kong Ming had nothing to do for a while, so he had to make a decision.
Kong Ming sent people to the Dong villages along the Xiongxi River to post notices, saying that there must be local people who know how to crack this poison, if they don't come out, none of the Miao people in the nearby villages want to live, and they will all be killed, and the time limit is three days.
As soon as this notice came out, Miao people were immediately in an uproar. Miao Min stood in front of the notice and discussed: "Zhuge Liang's move is ruthless enough, black enough!" ”
"Taking advantage of King Miao's absence, he threatens to kill us...... Detoxify his army, and we will be ashamed of King Miao. ”
"If we don't detoxify them, we'll all die....."
"We might as well go directly to Tucheng and capture Zhuge Liang's guy alive!"
"Don't worry, everyone." At this moment, an old man with pale hair stood out from the crowd.
"Chief, why are you here?" Several Miao men with scimitars on their waists said in unison.
The elder said in Miao to the people who ate melons: "The knife is about to reach our necks, and if we want to fight, we must be open-minded." It's okay to detoxify Zhuge Kongming's army, but you have to treat him well, and you have to let him know that the descendants of the great god Chiyou are not so easy to mess with! ”
"Elder Lei, Kong Ming is scheming, it's useless to talk to him about kindness, you must not go!" A black-faced Miao Min said.
"It's not a pity to die of old age. Heizi, you quickly take people back to the village and get some props for singing and opera. The old gentleman commanded.
"Elder, do you want us to perform a puppet?" Kuroko asked.
"Just know, go quickly." The old gentleman laughed.
"Hey." Kuroko pressed his right hand on his left shoulder blade, bowed his head and bowed respectfully to the elder.
"Remember, you should each bring a portion of dry food."
"No. Elder. ”
"Brothers, let's go, go back and get the masks and clothes." Kuroko said with a wave of his hand.
"Hey!"
More than 100 young people followed behind Heizi and went back to the village together......
