Chapter 331: Visiting Zhang Liao and Requesting Troops
In the Danyang Shanyue camp, the leader Fei Jun is checking the harvest of this looting of the Danyang branch.
Fei Jun is the nephew of Qi Chun Taishou Fei Zhan, after Fei Zhan passed away, Fei Jun did not want to be under the control of the imperial court, so he returned to the mountains of Danyang County again, entangled a group of Shanyue people to establish a camp in the mountains, and lived a free life in the far away of the emperor of the mountain.
If it weren't for the sudden change in the climate in the mountains this year, the grain harvested in the autumn would not be enough for the thousands of Shanyue people and soldiers in the camp to survive the winter, and the Fei army would not have the idea of fighting the Danyang branch transport convoy.
And because the branches and production bases in various counties of Yangzhou are ensuring that the people of Dawei can enjoy high-quality and low-cost goods, the shopkeeper Li of the Yangzhou branch is not very willing to see the Shanyue people who are still hostile to Dawei and are accustomed to self-sufficiency.
At this time, Fei Jun looked at the five carriages full of rice in front of him, and two carriages full of iron farm tools, and laughed happily.
"Hahaha, you did a great job this time!
Not only did he get so much food and farm tools, but he didn't really hurt the guards of the Danyang Branch.
Divide the grain and iron farming tools later!
Even if the Danyang branch comes to the door, they don't want to get back this batch of grain and iron farming tools from us! ”
Fei Jun shouted to his men, and then the people and soldiers of Shanyue in the camp cheered.
As for the car of glass cups and a car of glass mirrors, of course, Fei Jun himself stayed.
These good things can be exchanged for food and meat from other Shanyue camps, and he is a treasure.
Just when Danyang Shanyue Dazhai was sharing the goods of the Danyang Branch, the shopkeeper Li of the Yangzhou Branch also received a letter from the shopkeeper of the Danyang Branch.
"These Shanyue people!"
After reading the letter, the shopkeeper Li was so angry that he slapped the letter in his hand on the table.
At that time, the shopkeeper Li went to ask Zhang Liao, the general of Yangzhou, the head of the town, to send his deputy general to negotiate with the Shanyue people, and then set the rule that all the goods of the Hanzhong branch should not be looted.
"I didn't expect that in less than two years, these Shanyue people forgot the original agreement and attacked the transport fleet of the Hanzhong branch again!"
The more Shopkeeper Li thought about it, the more angry he became, and he hated the character of Shanyue people who went back on their word, but there was no effective way to deal with them for a while.
When Shopkeeper Li found the general Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao clearly told Shopkeeper Li that the composition of Shanyue is complex, and most of them live in the deep mountains and old forests, and it is not easy for the army of Great Wei to exterminate them.
Therefore, Zhang Liao could only send thousands of deputy generals to threaten the Shanyue leaders who plundered the Yangzhou branch.
Regarding the origin of Shanyue, after the shopkeeper Li returned to the Yangzhou branch from the mansion of the general Zhang Liao, he also made up for it.
Before the Battle of Chibi and the unification of the world by Great Wei, Shanyue was already a big problem for Sun Quan of Eastern Wu.
Sun Quan didn't have any good way to deal with Shanyue before the Battle of Chibi, it was nothing more than to win over and deter.
At that time, there were as many as a dozen famous Shanyue leaders, and the more famous ones were Pan Lin, Peng Qi, Peng Shi, Fei Zhan, Zulang, Yan Baihu, Jin Qi, Mao Gan, these Shanyue leaders.
They occupy the mountains as kings and do not pay land taxes, and the production methods of the Shanyue people are also mainly agriculture, planting various food crops.
In addition, the Shanyue people also mined copper and iron ore in the mountains, and often made their own armor and weapons, which were very difficult to deal with.
These Shanyue people relied on mountain dangers to bring great hidden dangers to the rear of Sun Quan of Eastern Wu, and it was not until Zhuge Ke in history that he completely subdued the Shanyue people.
However, when Zhuge Ke followed Sun Quan to participate in the Red Cliff War, he had already died with Sun Quan, and the trouble of the Shanyue people was inherited by Great Wei.
Otherwise, Cao Cao would not have sent the general Zhang Liao to the town of Yangzhou, and the precautionary point was that the Shanyue people would make a rebellion.
In the face of the treachery of the Shanyue people, the shopkeeper Li once again plundered the transport convoy of the Hanzhong Branch, and had to go to the general Zhang Liao again.
On Zhang Liao's house, after the shopkeeper Li arrived, he explained to Zhang Liao that the Danyang branch was looted by the Shanyue people.
"General, how do you think this matter is more appropriate?"
After the shopkeeper Li explained the situation to Zhang Liao, he then asked Zhang Liao.
After Zhang Liao listened to the situation explained by Shopkeeper Li, his brows couldn't help frowning.
It stands to reason that the people of Dawei in Yangzhou are now said to have enough food and clothing, and there is no need to conflict with the Shanyue people because of the fields.
And after he Zhang Liao sat in Yangzhou, he did not send troops to exterminate Shanyue again, which is also because Cao Cao had explained to Zhang Liao the strategy of dealing with Shanyue people when he was in Yangzhou.
Now it is to aim at not interfering with the Shanyue people, stabilize the Shanyue people, and wait for the Great Wei to solve Xianbei, and then turn around and concentrate on dealing with the Shanyue people.
Therefore, Zhang Liao is sitting in Yangzhou, just to make Shanyue people dare not act rashly and live their own small lives with peace of mind.
"Last time, after the deputy general Hou Cheng led the troops to deter the Shanyue Dazhai in Huiji County, the Shanyue of Huiji County was indeed a lot more honest, but I didn't expect that after more than two years, the Shanyue people in Danyang County began to move again!"
Zhang Liao said in a deep voice to Shopkeeper Li.
Zhang Liao saw very clearly the improvement of the lives of the people in Yangzhou in the Hanzhong Branch, so he attached great importance to the safety of the Hanzhong Branch, and also attached great importance to the shopkeeper Li's coming to ask for help this time.
"However, the difficulty of the crusade against Shanyue is too great, and you know this very well to the shopkeeper Li, so I won't say more.
And this time the Danyang branch did not have the escort and the coachman to be killed by the Shanyue people, it is better to let the deputy general Hou Chenghou lead a thousand troops again, and go to Danyang County to deter the Shanyue people there!
What do you think? ”
Although Zhang Liao attached great importance to Li's shopkeeper's request for help, the trouble of Shanyue was not something that could be easily solved by sending troops to sweep it, so Zhang Liao planned to repeat the old trick so that the Shanyue people in Danyang County could stop for a few years.
Since Shopkeeper Li made up for the historical situation of Shanyue, he naturally knew that what Zhang Liao said was true, and he also agreed with Zhang Liao's arrangement very much.
"Thank you, General!"
After the shopkeeper Li thanked Zhang Liao, he didn't bother anymore, left the gift he brought to Zhang Liao, and left directly.
After Shopkeeper Li left, Zhang Liao called the guards in the mansion and asked the guards to call the deputy general Hou Cheng to his mansion.
"General!"
After the deputy general Hou Cheng came to Zhang Liao's mansion, Zhang Liao came to the courtyard of the mansion with him.
"Hou Cheng, the Shanyue people of Danyang County have plundered the transport convoy of the Hanzhong branch again.
Ben will be worried that this is because the weather changes drastically during the autumn harvest in Yangzhou this year, and the food of the Shanyue people may not be enough for them to survive the winter.
So this time the general ordered you to take 2,000 troops to Danyang County to see how the Shanyue people lived there.
Don't fight, watch carefully, Ben will wait for you to come back and report in detail, go!"
Zhang Liao was worried that not only the Shanyue people in Danyang would have any changes, but also that the Shanyue people in the entire Yangzhou would have a rebellion, and it would be difficult to clean it up, so he ordered Hou Cheng.
"Hou Cheng obeys!"
Hou Cheng, who knew the seriousness of this matter, immediately took the order and left.
