The main gathering place of Wuxi Man is in Wuling County.

That is, those who live in the five places of Xiongxi, Zhangxi, Chenxi, Youxi, and Wuxi are called Wuximan.

The problem of Wuxi Man has been around for a long time.

It can be traced back to the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but it still existed until the Song Dynasty. And now Wuxi Man under Liu Biao's rule is also confronting the government, and it has been a disaster for the four counties of Jingnan for a long time.

Later, in order to avenge Guan Yu, Liu Bei raised the army of the country to kill Soochow. It was in Wuling County that he subdued the Wuxi barbarians, making them fight for the Shu army, and achieved not weak results.

Its leader, Shamoke, is even more outstanding in martial arts.

Even fierce generals like Gan Ning were shot.

Nowadays, Wuxi is a gathering place.

There are quite a few people here.

Although the Wuxi barbarians are known as barbarians, they also make a living from farming. It's just that they are under heavy pressure from the government, which makes them resist, and in the end they are almost equivalent to bandits.

Normally, they hide in the mountains and forests to cultivate.

If something happens, it will be to loot outside, and the people will be miserable.

In the crowd of Wuxi barbarians, there was a burly figure.

It was none other than the barbarian king Shamoko.

Shamoko looked at it, but he was inevitably a little worried in his heart, this year's harvest was not good, and the ethnic group was afraid that it would be difficult to support it.

Beside him was a slightly old barbarian.

"If this continues, chief, our food stock will be depleted."

Shamoko nodded, then hesitated and said:

"I heard that now the defense of Wuling County has been strengthened a lot, and I heard that Lingling County is already drawing troops and horses, if we go down the mountain to grab food now, I'm afraid we will have to pay a lot of price."

That's where his concerns lie.

In Shamoko's mind, there is nothing wrong with robbery.

Anyway, they are hostile to the government, and there have been many battles in recent years. Among the ethnic groups, there are also many young people who died at the hands of the Han people, and they have great enmity with each other.

But he couldn't watch his people die.

But the current situation seems to be imperative.

If they don't grab grain, they will not be able to make ends meet with the annual production in the mountains, and it will be difficult to support them.

In fact, Shamoko sometimes thinks.

If they could farm under the mountain safely, wouldn't it be much better than the current situation?

After all, in the middle of the mountains and forests, everything is too inconvenient.

Including arable land, it is extremely difficult to reclaim it, but now this arable land is simply not enough.

But soon, Shamoko was grim-faced.

They had a blood feud with the Han Chinese, and it was not that no one had chosen to submit to the Han people before. But in the end, they all paid the price, being oppressed by the Han Chinese, and even reduced to slavery.

If you want to live, you can't count on others.

You can only rely on yourself.

That's what the Wuxi barbarians are thinking about now.

Right now.

Suddenly, someone came to report:

"Chief, we caught a few Han Chinese in the mountains."

Hearing this, Shamoke subconsciously frowned, how come there are Han people entering the mountain now, and there are only a few?

This is unusual.

Shamoko nodded:

"Bring these Han people in."

The man who came took the command and departed.

……

At this moment, in the mountains and forests.

Liu Ba, Wei Yan, and a few relatives were escorted by the barbarians.

Wei Yan stretched his face, seemed to be a little angry, he followed Liu Ba into the mountain together, and wanted to persuade Wuximan to surrender, but he didn't see the leader of Wuximan, so he was surrounded first.

Seeing dozens of people around him, although Wei Yan felt that his martial arts were okay, he still consciously chose to admit it.

He is not stupid, fighting with so many barbarians in the mountains, even if he is unparalleled in martial arts, he can't withstand it!

Before the mission began, he became a captive.

It's no wonder that Wei Yan can be in a good mood.

After all, he was a bit arrogant.

Fortunately, although they don't understand each other's languages, these barbarians don't have too much to do.

I can only wait to see their boss before talking!

Liu Ba glanced at Wei Yan, but he was not in a hurry:

"Wen Chang, why do you bother, I can come here alone, and it's useless for you to come."

The corners of Wei Yan's mouth twitched, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"This is the lord's order, if Mr. Zichu has a problem here, how should the last general explain?

It's better to come along! ”

In fact, Liu Ba also made a fool of Wei Yan's intentions, and he did have the idea of protecting himself. After all, in the eyes of the world, Wuxi Man is an extremely dangerous existence.

Many times of surrender and many times of rebellion.

Neither seems to have credibility with each other.

But at the moment on the road.

Liu Ba saw something he wanted to see.

Today's Wuxi Man seems to be in a bad situation, and the more difficult the situation of Wuxi Man, the greater the possibility of persuasion.

If Wuxi Man lacks nothing, just to fight against the government, then Liu Ba has nothing to do.

As long as they have what they want, there is room for relaxation in everything.

Before leaving, Liu Qi had already told him that if Wuxi Man could be resolved safely, some promises would be acceptable, and there was no need to make a big move in Jingnan.

If you really get involved with Wuxi.

Maybe we can win in the end, but how much energy will be consumed in Jingzhou in this process, and how many soldiers will be sacrificed.

This is incalculable.

And Liu Qi, now facing the threat of Cao Wei, of course he doesn't want to make extraneous branches.

Although Wuxi Man is troublesome, it is not impossible to subdue.

At least Liu Bei has succeeded.

So in Liu Qi's view, this is the best countermeasure.

And this happens to be the same as Liu Ba thinks.

Soon.

Liu Ba and Wei Yan were taken to a gathering place.

You can see a lot of Wuxi barbarians here.

Among them, there are many women and children, and they seem to be quite thin, which proves Liu Ba's thoughts.

According to this rhythm, I am afraid that the Wuxi barbarians will go down the mountain to plunder again, and they just happened to come at this node.

Then, there is a house.

Among them stood several old barbarians, led by tall and burly barbarian men.

Liu Ba quickly concluded his identity and said:

"Presumably Your Excellency is the Barbarian King Shamoke!"

Shamoke's eyes were cold, staring at Liu Ba and the others, as if he wanted to tear them apart.

At this moment, Wei Yan is also like a great enemy.

He looked at Shamoko with some horror.

Although he didn't do it, he could already feel that the strength of this Shamoke must not be underestimated.

Even, more powerful than yourself.

After the silence.

Shamoko suddenly spoke, speaking fluent Chinese:

"Who the hell are you?"

Hearing this, Liu Ba smiled instead, since Shamoke can speak Chinese, it is much simpler.

If you don't understand words, it will be uncomfortable.

Liu Ba arched his hand slightly:

"Liu Ba, the captain of Jingnan Tuntian, has seen the barbarian king, and I came here today to persuade the Wuxi barbarians to join."

With just one word, Shamoko looked angry:

"You Han people are extremely cunning, and you want to deceive us, don't be delusional."
