Wuling County is located in the west of Jingzhou, bordering Yizhou.

The seat of the county administration is in Linyuan County.

Linyuan County is close to Changsha County, not desolate, and is the most prosperous county seat in Wuling County. However, Linyuan County is prosperous, and the rest of the surrounding counties, as well as the more remote counties, such as Qianling County, are poor mountains and bad waters, and the conditions are very poor.

After Kuai Yue arrived, he consulted all the information of Wuling County, and after reading it, his heart was heavy, and there was no trace of relaxation. According to the information presented, the people of Wuling County are extremely poor and have a very difficult life.

On the one hand, it is because there are many mountains and forests in Wuling County, and fierce beasts are rampant, which makes it difficult to cultivate the land; on the other hand, it is because the Wuxi barbarians in Wuling County often come out to make trouble, plunder the people, and attack the city, resulting in the people being unable to live and work in peace and contentment.

In such a situation, Kuai Yue can't sit idly by.

It's just that it's almost impossible to change overnight.

The only way is to work hard overnight to change the poverty of Wuling County bit by bit. Therefore, after Kuai Yue took office, the first thing he did was to reclaim farmland and open up mountains and log trees.

In addition, Kuai Yue also found the people of the Pang family and the Huang family, mobilized the forces of the three families, transported grain and other materials to Wuling County, and accelerated the reclamation of Wuling County.

On the one hand, Kuaiyue accelerated the development of agriculture, and at the same time punished corrupt officials.

The people of Wuling County were settled, and the people praised Kuaiyue one after another.

For a time, it was a scene of great governance.

During Jin Xuan's tenure, he turned a blind eye to the situation in Wuling County, only cared about his own pleasure, and didn't care about the life or death of the people, so that the people's lives were very difficult. Now, after Kuai Yue took office, he has continued to reclaim farmland, let the people cultivate, and distribute food, so that the people can not go hungry.

In this way, the people are more convinced.

With the development of Wuling County, the news soon spread to the ears of Wuxi Man, which is located in the north of Youyang County.

Deep in the mountains, in a cottage.

This cottage is very rough and simple, the hall of the village is just supported by thick trees, and thatched grass is erected to keep out the rain, and there is not even a single tile.

The man at the head was dark-skinned, with a black complexion with a red tinge, a stout body, and a rough and powerful face.

He was dressed in animal skins, and sat upright on top of it, with fierce eyes.

This person is the barbarian king of Wuxi Man, Shamoke.

The so-called Wuxi barbarians refer to the barbarians of the five tribes of Xiongxi, Zhangxi, Chenxi, Youxi, and Wuxi. These people have lived in the upper reaches of Yuanshui for generations, distributed next to rivers, hence the name Wuximan.

Shamoke convened people from various tribes to discuss the matter of Kuai Yue's governance of Wuling County after taking office.

Shamoke looked at the people under his command and said in a deep voice: "This king heard that Wuling County has changed a dog official. Today's dog officials have considerable financial resources, constantly cultivating land and distributing food to the people. ”

"It just so happens that we are also short of food. Therefore, the king planned to gather to attack Youyang County, plunder some of the people back, and then send people to blackmail the dog officials in Linyuan County, asking him to exchange grain, cloth and weapons. ”

Shamoke opened his mouth and said confidently: "Since he is rich and loves the Han people, he will definitely not sit idly by when he knows that the people are arrested, what do you think?"

The leader of the Xiongxi tribe said, "I support the Barbarian King's decision, we haven't been out for almost three months since the last raid. The sons stayed at home all day, clamoring for women and wine and meat. This time I went to Youyang, and I had to grab more women and good wine and meat. ”

The leader of the Luxi tribe said: "It's just that there is another news recently, Qianling County, southwest of Youyang County, has a Han army stationed. This army is still recruiting soldiers. If we go to attack Youyang County, will we be attacked by the Han army?"

Although Wuxi wanted to plunder the people, in the final analysis, he was still a little afraid of the Han army.

The leader of the Chenxi tribe shouted: "I'm afraid of a fart, the current Han army is a bad breed." Have you forgotten the situation when we attacked Youyang County last year At that time, as soon as the county commander of Youyang County saw the king, he was directly frightened, and hurriedly asked us not to attack the county seat, and also took the initiative to send good wine, meat and food. ”

The leader of the Youxi tribe added: "Yes, yes, there is the year before last. At that time, the old boy of Jin Xuan actually led the soldiers to encircle and suppress us, but he didn't expect to chase him into the mountains and forests, but he was surrounded and suppressed by us. In the end, we chased him to Linyuan County and killed his lair. was so frightened that Jin Xuan no longer dared to send troops. These are all facts. ”

"It's all quiet"

Shamoko waved his hand and ordered directly.

Suddenly, the hall fell silent.

Shamoke's prestige was very high, his sharp gaze swept over the people under his command, and said in a deep voice: "It's not allowed to shout, this king has decided to attack Youyang County directly." Xiongxi tribe produced 1,000 soldiers, Zhangxi tribe produced 1,000 soldiers, Chenxi tribe produced 1,000 soldiers, Youxi tribe produced 1,000 soldiers, and Wuxi tribe produced 1,000 soldiers. ”

After speaking, Shamoko asked, "Five tribes, how many soldiers are there?"

The leader of the Luxi tribe didn't think about it, and said directly: "Back to the king, there are five tribes, there are, there are five thousand people, yes, there are five thousand people, there is nothing wrong with five thousand people." ”

Shamoko nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, with five thousand people, it is already a large number of troops." In addition to this, the king sent out another five thousand. How many people are there now?"

The Qixi tribe immediately said: "Ten thousand people"

When he spoke, he secretly despised in his heart, he couldn't even count clearly, and he was still a barbarian king.

It's just that the leader of the Luxi tribe thought that the people who opposed Shamoko were all killed by Shamoko, and then cut off their heads and used them as wine jugs, so they didn't dare to oppose Shamoko.

With a wave of his hand, Shamoko commanded, "Go and prepare immediately, and in the afternoon, we will go out of the mountain." ”

"Yes"

The people of various tribes went down to prepare, and before noon, Shamoke let his men eat early, and then rushed to Youyang County with 10,000 soldiers.

A force of 10,000 people in Youyang County is simply an irresistible force.

Moreover, the barbarians are ferocious and murderous, and they are extremely mad.

When the county magistrate of Youyang County saw his old acquaintance Shamoke, he didn't dare to resist at all, and directly opened the city and surrendered. Shamoko led the barbarians into the city, plundered and robbed a large number of people. Shamoke wanted to grab the grain, but because Youyang County was also extremely poor, there were only a few thousand catties of grain, so Shamoke snatched it easily.

After Shamoke snatched the people and food, he left with a swagger, and then informed the county order of Youyang County, asking the county order to tell Kuai Yue the news, and let Kuai Yue exchange the grain.

When the news reached Linyuan County, it immediately caused a shock.

Kuai Yue rushed from Linyuan County to Youyang County, and after inquiring about the situation, he directly dismissed Youyang County's county order. As a prefectural commander, it is simply unforgivable to give up resistance.

As a county magistrate, it is even more unforgivable to watch his people being arrested.

Kuai Yue stayed in Youyang County for a day, calmed the people's hearts, and then quickly rushed to Qianling County. To defeat Wuximan, you have to rely on the army under Zhao Yun's command.

Zhao Yun came to Wuling County from Xiangyang and brought 10,000 soldiers from Xiangyang.

These 10,000 soldiers are the foundation.

After arriving in Qianling County, Zhao Yun aggressively recruited soldiers, expanded his strength, and then trained soldiers. So far, there are 20,000 soldiers under Zhao Yun's command, and they are all elite.

Kuai Yue came to the military camp in Qianling County, and after finding Zhao Yun, he said straight to the point: "General Zilong, Wuxi is in turmoil. Now, if you want me to exchange food for the people, the only way to do this is to ask you to send troops to exterminate the Wuxi Barbarians. As long as the Wuxi Man is completely eradicated, the threat brought by the Wuxi Man can be removed. ”

After a pause, Kuai Yue said: "Otherwise, this time the grain is given, and next time, Wuxi Man will rob the people." Once they taste the sweetness, but don't give them a head-on blow, it will be impossible for Wuling County to be peaceful. ”

Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Kuai Taishou is reasonable, Wuxi Man must be exterminated." But how to exterminate it, you need a charter. ”

Kuai Yue calmed down, he looked at Zhao Yun and said, "General Zilong, on the way here, after thinking about it, I decided to lure the snake out of the hole. ”

Zhao Yun asked: "How to lure the snake out of the hole"
